Well today we got up to 71* wow very unusual. I spent the afternoon sewing and getting caught up to last Saturday's clues part a and part b. I used the tute someone posted to do the blocks. It was so easy and made 4 at once. The only trouble I had was getting the neutral and my constant (Tan) across from each other. So me and Mr. Ripper had a few choice words together. lol. Of course it was all his fault . Here are a couple pictures. Yes we all do enjoy pictures.

I'm still chugging along. I have the first clue almost done. and there was no way I was going to get a 4.5 square and I decided a 4.25 was just too hard so I cut em done to 4 inches. but I'm plugging away. I have a whole bunch of kitty scraps. I will get a pic posted. Every ones are looking sooooo great

Mary....blocks looks beautiful! And, yes, the ripper and I had quite the thing going during clue 2. Lol..
Katherine.... Smaller blocks will not likely effect the look of the quilt...I figure, borders are really what's going to pull this quilt together...we'll see. I always make my square cuts 3/4" to 1" bigger than needed because I like crisp and straight HST's. Do you draw the line down the middle and then sew 1/4" from line on each side?

I love the work shown so far. I have pairs sewn together but haven't pressed them yet. I'm obviously not going to be ready for tomorrow's clue. But as with most mysteries, I bring up the rear guard. But I do usually finish.
