Easy Street Mystery Clue #4

This has been such a sad weekend for our country! It is just unfathomable that someone would go into an elementary school and kill innocent children. As I've worked on Bonnie's 4th clue, I've been thinking about and praying for the people affected by this tragedy. May God comfort them all.
We had a busy weekend, so I didn't get real far on clue 4. We took the kids to see "The Hobbit" in 3D on Saturday afternoon ~ excellent movie ~ and we went to a Christmas party Saturday night. Then besides going to church Sunday morning, Sunday night hubby and I went out to dinner to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary. I've made 31 of the new flying geese. (I'm using golds in place of Bonnie's purples and reds in place of her turquoises.)
I just had to make one stacked flying geese unit to see how it looks. Bad photo, I know. The white fabric was hard to capture. With the flash on, it was all washed out. With it off, it looks muddy. And it doesn't look like I'll be getting much natural sunlight for a few days. Oh well, at least you get the idea :)

Progress Report
I'm making 75% of each unit, because Bonnie's finished quilt sounds too big for a lap quilt, and half of that seems too small.
Clue #1, 4-patches: 71 out of 144 completed

Clue #2, Flying Geese: 14 out of 96 completed (I haven't made any more since last Monday). Click here to see the latest photo.

Clue #3, Shaded 4-patches: 48 out of 48 completed last week. Click here to see them.

Clue #4, Flying geese: 31 out of 48 completed
              Stacked geese: 1 out of 48 completed

I'm linking up to Quiltville's Easy Street and Design Wall Monday at Patchwork Times.

Happy stitching!

Everything is looking great! I decided to go ahead and make it per the instructions as I am donating to Quilts of Valor. Thanks for your kind words on my blog! Best wishes!

Your units are looking great. Congrats on your wedding anniversary. I was going to do half the units, but ended up cutting and cutting so I'm doing the full size one LOL.
