'On Ringo Lake' - slowly making progress

     I have managed to make some progress on some of my projects.  I am back to the 'On Ringo Lake' pieces.  So many quilters have actually got their tops together!  You can see some of the completed tops here.  I am anxious to get mine done, but am also content slowly slogging away.   This has many more small pieces than I am used to!   The good news is that I have the Clue #3 pieces all finished and ready to go.
Getting ready!  Somehow I was short some neutral blocks! 
A little string piecing action. 
     I always discover a few goofs, but nothing a seam ripper won't fix!  

I sewed one neutral corner to two pieces!  
Right side/wrong side! 
       I also started working on Clue #5, and am about halfway through these flying geese units.  I am pleased that I notice an improvement in these from the ones done before.  I guess practice does make perfect (although these certainly aren't perfect, just better!)   Clue #4 is a bit more challenging, and I need a block of time to work through that one.  Hopefully, this weekend!
   My list of things I haven't gotten to is much longer than those I have!   I hope I am not the only quilter with a decorated tree still up!
     I am hoping to get this tree taken down and packed away this weekend.  It is artificial, so in theory, it could stay up all year! 

Take care,
Gretchen

    Your units look awesome and I can't wait to see your blocks come together. We still have one of our two trees up, our smaller football themed tree, as my husband's team is still in the playoffs. We'll keep it up until they either lose or win the Super Bowl. :)
