So glad you used yours to get some scraps cut quickly for this mystery! I am sure Bonnie used hers too!

If you slide the mat off the die, instead of lifting, your pieces will stay put. Another tip, after you cut your strips, if you will turn them 90 degrees on the die (just a few strips at a time) and run back through, you will now have squares in whatever size you are cutting. :). Over AccuQuilt and glad you've got it back out and falling in love with it again.Rhonda Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12596923668072440130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135801867512541373.post-78049588521854537442014-12-24T07:47:05.543-05:002014-12-24T07:47:05.543-05:00Your mystery units look great!

I hadn't done any calculations, but thought there must be at least one more clue making units before the reveal. But maybe that's just because I can't come up with a layout that works with just what we have made already!Vireyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464838238295059335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135801867512541373.post-6337897890162121812014-12-23T23:37:49.198-05:002014-12-23T23:37:49.198-05:00I like your "playing" layout.

I was tempted to buy one years ago, but didn't. I'll have to talk Kevin into sharing his sometime in the future. I have lots of scraps!!!Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960683751935834250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135801867512541373.post-65245574473794710682014-12-23T16:33:33.409-05:002014-12-23T16:33:33.409-05:00You can spray the top layer of fabric with Static ...You can spray the top layer of fabric with Static Guard and it eliminates the sticking proble.Barbara Ensorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210251419006569572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135801867512541373.post-59903088735899838522014-12-23T16:06:19.261-05:002014-12-23T16:06:19.261-05:00I saw your link on the link up and I was like that...I saw your link on the link up and I was like that is a cool way to put it together, then I realized you were Jan.

Green is done? Bummer! I hope my layout isn't close to the real deal - I'd really like to see my green peppered throughout the quilt. The unit finishing at 3 x 6 has really thrown me! I can't wait to see!Quilting Revolutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525963009816943007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135801867512541373.post-53840571176991940742014-12-23T11:09:52.285-05:002014-12-23T11:09:52.285-05:00Great work!

This was calculated in my bed as I lay awake and not able to settle down to go to sleep after finishing clue #4 at midnight last night. LOL I am hoping for more background your red (pink) and blue. I know the green is done but not sure about what other colors are left. My colors are very similar to yours except that my red is more of a rusty red not a true red. I am going for fall colors so I will have a fall quilt. One for each season. lol Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016897433804507255noreply@blogger.com
