Ok, clue 3 makes no sense to me. I can interpret it at least 3 different ways. Help? Do we end up with:
1. 20 pairs of 2.5x6.5 strips
2. 20 different 2.5x6.5 strips (because the greys are different in each)
3. 40 pairs of 2.5x6.5 strips (match the 6 square with *both* sets of half-square triangles that used the dark.

ARGH!

Thank you . I've got it pulled up but never saw it

On to the next!

Based on clue 4, I'll answer my own question. 40 pairs of strips - you should use 4 of the half-square triangles from each set of 6 that you made in the prep steps.

Krista, on her FB page someone else asked for clue 3 to be clarified & she replied "just match the darks, not sew them & follow the diagram". I'm not that far yet so can't help but on FB there where at least a few replies to help

I can't find step 5 -- does anyone have a link? Thanks.

I found it, thanks to someone who posted it on another site: http://www.planetpatchwork.com/Case136/Case136Part5.htm

All 6 clues have been posted now. Mine won't be as "traditional" has her's since I'm using scraps from my stash & some are pretty bright.

Belfrybat 01-01-2014 02:15 PM

Mine too, Mimi. Her's is really nicely colour coordinated -- mine is not.

Looks like the group fizzled out! I know I did, but I'm back and working on steps 4 and 5. I figure I'll get about half of it done today, but am on target for finishing by Friday. I'll post a pic a little later when the Anvil blocks are done.

Mine is done, except for 2 more seams to stitch the top together. Then I want to add a border, even though hers doesn't ahve one.

I'm regretting my "safe" decision to go with only 2 colours for this quilt (red/grey). I think it would be much more dramatic as a stash buster with each block a different colour. I see another one in my future.
