This week I worked on O Say...Can You Sew! Clue 5. Literally, Clue 5 consumed me =^.^= The end result is a finish of Clue 5!
From Monday through Thursday Clue 5 had me cutting dog ears and pulling paper. It was sure nice to see there was an end to this task with 1162 1 1/2" unfinished HSTs in blue and white!
This was the biggest clue so far in the mystery! Next up putting the 9-patches together. There were 128 to accomplish. It is nice having a larger throat space to stack up the different HSTs so no 9-patch has the same unit in it...not that you could tell unless you were really looking for a repeat!
The first part of the chain piecing is done putting three HSTs together into a row. A bit of snipping after three rows and then set up for sewing the rows together. This part took two days of sewing (not just talking evenings, rather enough to get through an audio book).
There was a bit of time before dinner chimes called me on Saturday night, so a start to Clue 6 commenced. This one will be easy in comparison. It brings Clue 5 and Clue 4 together. The task will be 32 9 1/2" blocks. Clue 6 should be done today if all goes to plan.
Nothing roles the stash report numbers in any direction this week. I have in mind getting back to Autumn Love project. Hope everyone has a wonderful week.
