A design improvement opportunity, that's what it was.  It wasn't just that I screwed up and didn't buy enough of Fabric Number Six.  Really.

So I have switched from a yellow Fabric 6 to lime green.  With my black background it should really be my lightest fabric and I'm not sure it is, but I like it anyway and I'm not redoing those half square triangles for a third time, so if it all comes out wrong, I take full responsibility.   :-)   I think it'll be fine. 

So here is redone Clue 3 and Clue 4.  My half square triangles are perfect but the geese came out a hair smaller than they should be.  I worried about that for a minute or two but then I thought about the countless other quilts I've made with flying geese that were probably also a hair too small and I got over it.

I'm going to try to keep up with the next clues but we're in the middle of furiously painting ceilings and walls and baseboards before new carpet installation (woohooo!) so it's gonna be difficult!  If you don't hear much outa me for a while, that's why!

Oops, here are my blocks...

Nice crisp piecing! Lime will work just as nicely too!

You are squaring up as you go along aren't you YD ? it will make things fly by in the next few weeks!

Herewith my clue 5 - a nice bit of therapy after the shimmer block experience.
The fabric colours are actually quite nice, the light is a bit odd at this time.

Lovely sharp piecing Ploshkin and very striking colours too!


....and mine.

Oh I am soooooo loving these ...Well done Girls!

Now do you see why squaring up as you went along was so useful ...

Bish, bash, bosh and you have Clue 5!

[Lowena]

I've lost the impetus to do clues 4 and 5.....gee me up please 

[Iminei]

Once again Low ...

[Sakar]

I've lost the impetus to do clues 4 and 5.....gee me up please 

Just for you, Lowena:

[Lowena]

Hmmm.. thanks girls but I could think of kinder encouragement 

[Ploshkin]

Lowena, if you've still got goose block it doesn't stop you doing clue 5.  So why not do that one and face the geese at a later date otherwise you'll be 2 clues adrift and it will be even harder to get going again.

C'mon Lowie, whip those goosies up and sally forth!  I'm usually the "gloomy gus" dragging my feet and muttering, not you! I'm sitting here drumming my fingers on the kitchen table and won't get up, shower and start my day until you profess re-newed oomph and a promise to get goosing! 

[Lowena]

Sorry Rubes, but I fear those gooses will be the death of me  I promise I'll have another look at them tomorrow to see if they can be rescued  ( it's just gone midnight here so I won't look now  )

Here's one of mine. I've done more but made me go cross eyed when I put them all together.
