Today's post will be a little short.  Apologies, I've been under the weather most of the week.  I'm trying to push through today.  I had to do a little rearranging of blocks, but no worries, it really will not impact you, as you have to make them all anyway!

Clue #13 ~ Gilded Lily ~ Holiday and Vintage Christmas Versions

You will be make (4) more Gilded Lily Blocks, with the Wing Clipper and Tucker Trimmer tools from Studio 180 Design.   You will remember, we made (4) Gilded Lily Block for Clue #9, the block is made with the Pickets & Quickets and Shaded 4-Patch and Half Square Triangle units.

This week's download, will include specific instructions for this week's Clue, however if you need a refresher on the Pickets & Quickets technique, check out Clue #9 Blog Post. For a detailed pictorial on the Shaded 4-Patch technique, visit Clue #5 Blog Post.

You can make these 4 Blocks with the same fabrics as Clue #9 or with fabrics of similar color and value.  I chose change the dark fabric only, but it is still a similar color and value.  It is very important, that if you change the fabrics that they are of similar color and value as Clue #9.

Here are my Holiday fabric selection, Clue #13 side by side with Clue #9.
