ooooo Karen - love love love the blocks you created. Like they say, when life gives you lemon or scraps, make .....
Your fabrics look so great together.
And yup, should have called those blocks "houses" - would have been less confusing. Will remember that, and give credit if I use them again.

Thanks for the good words on my "blues"! Just felt like sewing today and...there was the new clue. The pictures were very helpful. Today's work created a lot of leftovers from the FG and the pieces I call the "houses" . So before I cut off the triangles I sewed again a half inch away from the correct sew line and created a bunch of HSTs that I squared to 2". I need two small projects for a meeting Tuesday, so these will be made into mug rugs by then.

I finished today's clue on the first set of fabrics. There was a lot of ripping and cutting going on, so I think I will leave the other set of fabrics for another time. I did learn a good lesson on the choice of patterns, I will not use plaids anymore. They show every little oops and on top of that, I think that the pattern was not originally printed straight on the material.

The gremlins were here and took my HST from last week to play with. Pesky little varmints! I finally found them under some other fabric in my sewing room. I've cut one complete set so far. Wanted to sew one set to be sure they are right before I make my second set. After finding the HST, I'm now in the process of making the "arrow" or 4-patch blocks. Have everything cut, but still need to make my "geese" and "house" blocks. Will try to finish them and post a picture later tonight or tomorrow.

Finished my first set this morning. Sunglasses needed! Will probably make the second set in a few days. These sure need that fourth fabric to bring the colors together! Looking forward to the next clue.
