Clue 1 done.   48 of these little beggars! 

I loved the colourful strip sets more before I  added the black background pieces, but I'm hoping that once the mostly yellow #6 gets added in,  it will spark it up.  It's just difficult to know since the quilt's a mystery!  Time will tell.   0_0

16 of these completed.  I'm not over enthusiastic at the moment.  Think perhaps my 3 & 4 are too pale but we will see.

Well just finished sewing and squaring my blocks, not sure if it's my measuring or my seams or a bit of both but I have had to square them to 8" but they are all 8" and hopefully it will be ok. I now know my unpicking skills are excellent  0_0 after changing number 1

You put me to shame, Lowena.  Your fabrics look lovely.

I am STILL working on clue 1 and catching up on The Archers.  It's January in Ambridge.

Here is my offering for clue 2 .....  I'm happy with them but can see that fabric 6 (which I haven't decided on yet) is going to be key.  The red is actually a nice pinky red - it comes out a bit brown on the screen

Ta da!

 Apologies to Lowie....I'm sorry...I know, I know, green...I can see you wincing all the way from here! And if I am too be completely honest Lowie, you brought a little smile to my face when I pounced on these fabrics in the remnant bin.....just where I reckon you'd turf 'em!!!!
The greens in my fabric 2 are actually quite vibrant...they've washed out a bit with the phone pic and fabric 1 (my background) is a very soft lemon with a swirl in it.
