MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL.... clue 5 is done and dusted....

I'm tucked away sewing with my air conditioner running and watching the last QUILT CAM. I'm in heaven....
Bonnie posted clue 5 early so us down here in Oz made a quick start on the many half square triangles needed.
How easy is this... http://quiltville.blogspot.com.au/2016/12/surprise-en-provence-part-5.html
I always try to do this method when I have a lot to do.
http://chezstitches.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/the-magic-8-revisited.html This is an easy tutorial to follow.
I did make the odd one or two blocks from smaller scraps for a little bit of extra colours but they were all done in no time. All done before Xmas day. Now to wait for the next clue.
The easy 8 way...

All half square triangles complete

Yes I'm a sliver trimmer



So with that I must say to everyone


HAVE A VERY HAPPY AND SAFE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR. 
ENJOY YOURSELF AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE FESTIVE SEASON WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Congrats on finishing clue 5! I've got some last minute Christmas chores to finish today/Saturday and then I'll at least cut out the HSTs to sew later. Merry Christmas!!!

Not letting the grass grow under your feet, Jo. You have done well to finish the latest Bonnie clue in such a short time.
