I went through my stash to h find the colors of fabric. I had most of the fabric needed, but very little dark brown. Lots of neutrals and blues, and some coral/melons. I ordered more brown and coral/melon.
On Friday I got clue 1. I had enough fabric for this clue. I started cutting the strips for my nine patches.( I now have some strips cut out to start scrap saving system)
I have a brand new Janome 6700 sewing machine. So I tried to find the 1/4" seam for the foot I was using. I was wrong- not by much, but it counts when you have lots of seams. I started sewing pieces together. Of course I hadn't printed out the instructions! Instead of nine patches, I made 4 patches, lots of them. ( They will be saved for a different quilt.)
So I redid the seam tests until I found the correct 1/4" seam. And I started over making nine patches.
By Saturday I had a few done, but most cut out. Now to finish sewing them. Next clue I will print out,so I don't make the same mistake.
