Once you have these next two blocks made please share a post on instagram with the hashtag #pqmysteryqal4 and/or in the Challenge Quilts facebook group. We want to see your progress! The next clue will be posted tomorrow at noon!
Here are the blocks from clues 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. I didn’t include the block from clue 3 because it’s just not as exciting … yet.
Woo is me. Managed to cut everything but still not feeling great. Not Covid! Hoping to feel perky enough soon to start sewing. I layed the blocks out on their own sheets of paper so I don’t get confused! Liz
