I'm in love with everyone's 4 Patches! I just think I really just love that I'm using my cheddars! 
I don't think we'll cut the Santa hats. The "Hot Cross Buns" idea is my fav! I checked out the site someone suggested with the bow. To me it does not look like our block so I'm guessing not a bow (though I did once think I'd use my cheddars on a bow quilt). I took a screen shot and zoomed in (if this is the block) what do all y'all think?

I was inspired by the scrappy sisterhood, and these are definitely the scrappiest units I've ever made. I can see why people love scrappy! (I haven't finished pressing, and haven't trimmed yet).
I've also been making a few units using that other palette that intrigued me, what I call the 'sunny Tuscany palette' -- this has the dark green for black, terra cotta for red, and happy blue for gray -- to see if it would work with the Allietare pattern. I don't think I'll continue with the experiment, because I think those goose units are very hard to look at with the bright complementary colors juxtaposed. I wonder if these colors would work with Roll Roll Cotton Boll?!

I'm in on the mystery quilt this year too! I haven't posted in this section yet as I am usually busy ogling the vintage machine section. 
I finished my four patches this morning but still need to cut my rectangles. I'm sure I will have that done before Friday's clue.
I was a bit uncertain about my gold color choices but once I mixed them around just a bit and see them all together I think they will be ok.

I just wanted to tell you Mrs. SewNSew, I just love your screen name, that is a good one. I am just tagging along on this one, no time, watching everyone's progress and love it all. Scrappy are good, change in color selection are interesting and originals are great too.
I looked over Bonnie's link up after the 3rd clue and it was reassuring to see all the different choices people made with their "golds". I was happy to see a few like mine so hopefully it will look just fine when it all comes together!

Oooh, love the pinks, PeriWink.
A huge part of the fun of a mystery quilt to me is all the speculation and guesses along the way. Another thing I love is seeing is the variety of fabrics and colors and how they eventually play out.

Sewbizgirl - your neutrals are so much fun! Is that hats & mustaches on the left side/middle?
It's amazing how many different golds there are - some with low contrast - some with high contrast - but all equally as as pretty! And it's really fun peeking in to everyone's stash.
