I didn't get all that much sewing done this weekend so I have only a small start on clue #3. The mirror image thing always slows me down a bit - especially since I usually have batiks involved and then can't keep track of which side to sew on. I only managed to finish 32 of each, so there will be lots of catching up to do on this step.
I decided to cut the neutral triangles from the mis-cut rectangles from last week. I can get two triangle from each with only about 1/2" of waste so it seemed like the best option for using those. I have used up a lot of my neutrals between cutting extra week #1 and screwing up week #2 so I want to do what I can to not run out before I'm finished. Of course I am sure I could find more to throw in....
We had Wool Club this Saturday. I had not been able to go in a long time - March, I think - so it was great to see everyone! I was able to pick up some more yarn to finish binding my Old Settlement rug. It's the largest rug I have ever finished (not the largest I have started, of course!) at 6 ft long.
I didn't manage to get completely caught up on the Triangle Gatherings blocks Lisa posted on Saturday, but I finished block 86 and started #87. I think this one is one of my favorites so far.
Lisa's last post indicated there will be 98 blocks instead of the 90 we all thought.... I still love this project but have to admit I was a little bummed to learn that I am not finished prepping the HSTs with triangle paper. I thought I was finished with that stuff for a while!
I'm betting a lot of folks are a lot farther along on their clues than I am.... I'll be checking out Bonnie's link-up throughout the day to see how others are progressing. There are some really fun color combinations out there!

You've made a good start, and that's what counts! The fawn fabrics are lovely.
Any progress is good progress! It's wonderful you've been able to re-purpose the miscuts with little waste! That's always a huge success in my opinion. :)
I had to do all one direction, then the other; otherwise, I could never keep it straight!
I too think it was wise to use the mis-cut shapes while you could. 1/2" waste? That's nothing ... could have been a lot worse. I love your wool rug. Hope to see it Saturday?
