I'm linking up in week two in the Allietare Mystery by Bonnie Hunter. See the project unfold at her blog. Clue 1 went very well so I'm on schedule!
Everyone does things differently when it comes to projects like this. I found I am better at breaking steps down into little chunks and spreading them out a bit. Here's how I handled clue two.
Friday:
Downloaded and read the clue so I had an idea of what we would be making.
Went through my stash for the colors I wanted to use. I really want to bust my fabric stash and not buy new yardage. So far, so good!
Decided on these fabrics. Set up the "tools of the trade" as well.
Got a little distracted....Look at what I found when I was going through my stash. A Christmas Storm at Sea that I made a while back! It needs finishing!
I pulled out a big piece of red checkered backing fabric that I came across in my hunt for clue two red. I love this pattern's illusion of movement. I'm motivated to finish quilting it!
Saturday morning:
Ironed the fabric. Made the first cuts.

My handsome guy loves posing for the camera. <3
Later in the day, I did the final cuts...
Sunday
Woke up pretty early and started thinking about the mystery. Brewed up some caramel coffee and sewed the units together.
10:30 - time to go to church! Our breath was taken away when we saw the lobby!
While my soup was simmering, I trimmed all the sets to size.
Clue two is done! Into the mystery box they go! All set for next week.

pretty fabrics too.
Very nice units for Clue #2, love the reds. Such a beautiful little helper you have.
The Christmas "storm at sea" makes a lovely table-topper.
Your mystery is looking very organised!
Clue is looking good and love the Storm at Sea!
