Lol, too funny, yes and it worked well.

I think the bowties look a little bit like spools, and spools can be placed in a design that makes a secondary design of circles with what would be the blacks of clue 4. Maybe something like that can be done with these blocks? Although I have to admit, I'm really bad with thinking up possible block designs from parts, so I might be totally off.

HaHa, I think I was already a little nuts, but this quilt may just push me over the edge!
Hope everyone else is coming along too! I think I read the next clue will be on Saturday instead of Christmas Day? So there is an extra day this week.

I am finished! Yay! All 30 units. I looked at the last two that needed done and just about lost my ambition to do them. Now I am wondering as well when the next clue will be. I went to the Quiltville site and didn't see where it was, so still not sure. After clue 4 I cant believe I am doing this. I am sure that I would never attempt it if it wasn't a mystery quilt. I am wondering how all these pieces are going to go together.
Jeanne, you crack me up. Yes, count me in, I am right there along with you too.

Yes, somewhere along the way (I think within one of the clues) Bonnie said the next clue will be on Saturday (skipping Christmas day).

I've been alternating cleaning and working on this clue (my reward for cleaning!!). As I said earlier, I'm starching the heck out of the bias seams. Now I'm worried about all that starch when it comes time to quilt this. I usually don't use starch. If I need anything I use Best Press. Anyone have experience with quilting a top with a lot of starch in it?

Haha...thanks! I've had it for almost 10 years and was thinking, "Whew, I finally get to use this red."

Do you feel like you have done a lot of cutting on this project?? Well, you have! Interesting tidbit: through Clue #4 this quilt has 2,144 pieces!!!! doesn't that just knock your socks off!

After all this work, I just hope I am going to like what it ends up being.

I'm finally getting to clue #4 after finishing up other projects and having a couple of days under the weather. I cut and sewed my first/test set last night. It tuned out the correct size so I finished cutting the reds and neutrals. Then my back gave out so now I need to cut all those black triangles tonight. I have the strips cut and will be doing them 4 at a time with a new blade. Hope I can get that done and start sewing tonight.

I wondered why I had to change my blade! I have five more units of four to finish up clue #4. May not be able to get to it until Thursday. Then I will be ready for Saturday. I have really enjoyed this MQ.
