Carole D's Clue 5

Clue 5

This clue used pieces we had already cut and/or sewn in earlier clues, so that made it a little easier to work on.  However, matching seam intersections and trying to not lop off points made it a bit tricky, so I still couldn't just speed through it.

Here is a close-up of the first part of Clue 5.  I have these stacked in sets of 5, but each is slightly different.

This is a close-up of the second part of Clue 5.

Here are all parts of the completed Clue 5.

Carole D's Clue 4

Clue 4 - Monday, Dec. 21, 2015

Clue four is a bit more demanding than the first three, but I love the way the units are turning out.  Under each unit in the photo are three more with the same red and the same black, but with different neutrals. I'm having to sew more slowly so that I can be very careful as to how the pieces are lined up.  Otherwise, the intersections just don't match!

As you can see, I haven't finished all the units yet, but the pieces are cut and I'm hopeful that I will finish these before Christmas Day!

..............later in the week.............Tuesday, December 22.................

I have finished the thirty sets.  Each stack of four has a constant red, a constant black, and four different neutrals.

I'm using today's post to show my finished results for both Clue #1 from last week, and Clue #2 from this week.

Here are my half-square triangles for Clue #1.

These are my "decapitated geese"  (or houses, or Santa hats) for Clue #2.  I've made a few extra for each step, just in case!
