Trying to Keep up on Easy Street - W.i.P. Wednesday

My mother always said, "Never start a project on Friday unless you can finish it on Friday."  I've found that adage to be true in my life:  I know that if I start a project on Friday it will not get finished.  (Of course just because I don't start a project on Friday doesn't mean I will finish it.)  Anyway, when Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street clues are published on Fridays, I read them, make a note of them, print them, then go back to whatever I was doing.  That puts me a little behind every week.

For example, below are my strips for 4-patches, waiting to be sewn, then cut.  Some are already cut and some are already sewn into 2-patches.  (Colors in the photos below are not accurate.)

I have 65 4-patches finished, which means I have about 1/3 of the total I need.  I'm having trouble enjoying sewing these blocks.  I find them so very boring to make....  I have also cut 40 of the 64 2" x 3 1/2" blocks.

BUT, all of my green and cream geese are cut and stitched!  I'll trim their little feet off sometime when I'm riding in the car (with my husband driving), watching a movie, or when I'm too tired to do anything else.

For this week's clue I have all the squares and small triangles cut and stitched.  I still need to cut large red triangles and stitch them to the other side to make squares.

Don't you love a mystery?  And don't you always try to guess "who done it" before the book or movie ends? I'm doing the same for this quilt.  I'm guessing Easy Street is a variation of one of the "Road to..." blocks.  Road to Oklahoma.  Road to Jericho.  As soon as I finish some more of clue 3 I'm going to lay out some possibilities.  Of course, doing that discounts the fact that we'll probably have at least 4 more clues, and 4 more parts to stitch.  Still, it's fun to play.
