First, I needed to pull fabric. I decided on ORANGE and GREEN because I have so much of them and they are my absolute favorite colors, and then YELLOW and PURPLE because those are the two colors I have the least of and because it should make for a bright and cheerful quilt (I hope!). And lots of scrappy neutrals make my heart sing. I took this photo to remind me which color corresponds to which color in Bonnie's directions (please, Please, PLEASE let me remember that my green is actually blue in her directions and that my purple is her green!).
Before cutting any fabric, I went into my precut scraps to see what I could make from those. I had a bunch of the appropriate sized squares,
and I had a bunch of neutral strips the correct width for which I just had to cut yellow to match.
To my absolute delight, I was able to sew together almost 25% of Clue #1 without even cutting into my neutral yardage, and just cutting a couple strips of yellow!
Of course, the next 75% will take much longer since I'll have to iron and cut fabric...
