Allietare Mystery Quilt Clue #3

Whew!  I'm still keeping up.... that's a Christmas miracle!  lol  I completed the Allietare Clube #3 with Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville Quips & Snips.  This week was really easy!  Just 4 patches from the golds and neutrals; 120 of them to be exact.

Now that's a stack of 4-patch units.

And also cut 36 of these from the neutrals.  I don't know how I made something so simple so difficult.  First I cut the 1 1/2" wide.  I don't know what made me go back and look at the directions but I did and boy am I glad I did.  Where in the world did I get 1 1/2".  Well darn, maybe the next clue will need 1 1/2" somethings.  So back to the cutting board I went to cut them the correct 3 1/2" x 7 1/2".  The second time around I cut them 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" but I cut them out of the gold not the neutral.  Gosh darnit Doris, pay attention!!!  Third time is a charm.... I finally got 36 neutral 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" blocks.  Geeze that shouldn't have been so hard.  And just for the record, there are multiples in some of those stacks.  There really are 36  total.

Clue #4 comes out tomorrow.  My excitement is building.  I can hardly wait to see what it is.
