Here are two layouts I came up with. The first is just construction paper shapes laid out on the floor. The picture I took with my motifs turned out fuzzy.
Layout 1 resized.jpg

White is MC (Sundrift) (Clue 5)
White Shapes with colored dot on them indicate the pattern they were completed in.
Pink is A (Bitter Rose) (Clue 2)
Green is B (Willow) (Clue 6)
Red is C (Porcelain Red) (Clue 3)
Blue is D (Blue Gown) (Clue 4)

The second layout is done with my motifs. (Had not blocked clue 6 yet.)

just wanted to post my photos of the CAL clue 3 and the difference your tension can make. I used the same H hook for both, on the light blue I looped the yarn over forefinger and around my pinkie and on the dark blue one just held the yarn over forefinger.

I was hoping for more shapes in between the main motifs to join them all together.
But I guess it will all just be sewing from here on in.,

I love doing puzzles and that's what this is to me. :-)

I'm glad you posted your picture. It's a great layout and your colors are nice too. I love seeing other possibilities with all the various colors.
