It's Sunday evening and I haven't even looked at this clue. I totally forgot to share the post on it with my group as I was all caught up in the excitement over the quilt show. I've had a busy day today as well but we are back home and it is quiet time, thus the memory came back. I guess I need to get this clue put together so that I can stay caught up and keep working on other things as well. Wow -- that sounds humdrum. Let's try again.
It's quiet in the house this evening and Mister is out washing the car so I get to work on clue 3. Penelope has several parts going this week, but I think I am going to stick with the original clues and just make the shaded 4 patches. I'm not in a hurry to get this one finished so will enjoy drawing it out a bit.
There are not very many of these, so it takes almost no time to chain the first half on, give the seam a gentle press, and add the second triangle.
All I have left is to attach the beautiful turquoise triangle to the other side and my clue is finished. Since I was already cut, this only took me two hours total. Nice. (Only trouble is: once again I am unable to count and have TWICE as many turquoise triangles cut as I need. What am I going to do with myself?) Aren't these just delicious looking. Oh, yummy. If you wish to play along, this pattern can be found in Bonnie Hunter's More Adventures With Leaders and Enders. As always, you can find all my posts on Easy Street by clicking the tab at the top of the blog.
Yes! I am caught up again with both mysteries. Boy does that feel good. Easy Street fabrics just make me feel happy to work with them. Such pretty, vibrant colors. Today's assignment is more flying geese. One would think that I would get good at these pretty soon. There are less than a hundred to make today -- for those that know Bonnie's patterns, well by golly, that is very few indeed -- and I get them sewn before Mister calls to say he is on his way home.
Clue 5 and it's a big one! I've said it before and I'll say it again. This mystery is wonderful! I LOVE how we put together blocks within the mystery. 
This clue has us preparing to make album blocks and so I have cut the orange and blue squares that will be used. I have also gone ahead and cut out the required parts for the border blocks. I have 96 MORE shaded 4 patches to make. Goodness.
The day for the quilt show has finally arrived. I have been looking forward to it for quite some time and even though my transportation is dicey at best today, I am gonna give it the old college try.
I can't stand it! These beautiful fabrics are sitting here calling me to cut them up and finally we get the chance on the next clue. Perhaps I will just get the cutting finished and be ready for clue day. This red and black are just luscious to me and I can't wait to see how it will all fit together. There now, I have a wonderful little stack of red/black triangles ready to become grown up HST's. Now to get back to my list of today's activities. I will stay away from these until I get back from DC. I will stay away from these until I get back from DC. Repeat that mantra all day, I tell myself and I am successful.
Today's clue is flying geese. Beautiful little purple and white geese. With the easy angle ruler and companion angle rulers, these are oh so easy to do.
Since my pieces are all pre-cut and waiting to be sewn, it is just a matter of placing my brightly colored stack of triangles next to my pretty little machine and start chaining one side.
So, onto clue 3. We are making half-split four patches. I have had to think long and hard on this one so that I don't have any waste. I think I have figured it out. Starting with a stack of 2" strips facing right side up. After trimming the edge so that all are even, I flip it over until it is upside down. THEN, I cut the first triangle with the easy angle ruler. Next, flip the stack back over and grab the companion angle ruler and cut your next piece.
