    NiaJane, WOF is width of fabric (approx.42 inches) and we need about 5 strips that are 2 1/2 by WOF.

    so fat quarters would only work if you had a great many of them all the same dark fabric.

Going to pull fabric for this MT soon as my eye gets a little better, hopefully next day or so. So everyone else that has caught this train, save me a spot in the club car.
    Seriously I suppose it isn't funny, but you have to laugh when you can, and trust me, I laugh at myself as I try to stay on my feet doing all this. I wore a cast for ten years, now have special shoes that don't fit into boots, any more than my bad foot does, so all of this is done in shoes. You can bet I clean in front of me well before I take the next step. Running naked, a horror, but funny too. I don't get on the roof, I use a long handled roof rake and a step ladder for some of it. That is funny too as I don't like getting too high off the ground. So all in all, entertaining, a workout, and about all the words you can find to say quietly as you do it. Going to travel along this one, watch the progress, send stuff to sample along the way, I love having guinea pigs to try new recipes on and just enjoy the ride.

    AngelAnne, your description of the snow was a hoot! I love the idea of running naked around the outside of the house without being seen...what a great idea! Maybe you should just to say you'd done it!

    I'm trying to get Train Ride 8 done today...I may hunt up a dark fabric for this one while I'm in the sewing room.

    I had some small hunks (1/4-1/3 yd) of neutrals, so I have less variety, but it used up most of the leftovers! The burgundy is darker than the photo indicates.

    Thanks for doing this again, Judy!

    we are all here, on this train ,figuring out the mystery together, NiaJane, so if you have any questions, be sure to ask.

    actually 2 might do it (if the same) for this first clue anyway
