The summer solstice was 2 days ago, so it is an appropriate time to be working on the quilt Bonnie Hunter has called "Celtic Solstice".
First, a garden scene:
Blue, orange, yellow and green, but not much neutral in this shot.
This week's clue - make 120 green and orange 4-patches:
That's 12 of them. I finished the last of the 120 this afternoon.
Here's what we've done so far:
I have each part in its own paper bag. I write on the bag the number of pieces required, and keep a tally of the total completed.
So what still remains? One or two more clues before we assemble this quilt? We have a lot of blue and neutral fabric still to use, so here's my guess at what the next clue will be:
It will be interesting to see how close I am when part 5 is released next weekend!
I'll add a link to Bonnie's part 4 link-up when it is available, so you can see all the lovely colour combinations people are using for this quilt.
Added later:
Here's the link-up!

I wish I could show you lovely flowers of summer, but here in the UK we are sitting in a wet and windy storm. Great organisation with those bags!
I think you may be right? Bonnie loves using this block in her quilts.
Ditto on Kevin's thoughts. And such a lot of wonderful fabrics you've got going there!
You got lovely colors on your fabrics, so summery!
You've done well at keeping up. Your green and orange 4 patches look great.
Wow, you are so organized - love your potential next mystery step suggestion! Your are using such fabulous and diverse fabrics -it'll look fantastic!
I like your guess for a future step. This is my first mystery with Bonnie. I am anxious to see the result. I know it will be gorgeous.
I am with you and Kevin, kind of a Bonnie signature part. Would almost be disappointed if it isn't one of the clues. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Great job keeping up with all the clues. I think there are a lot of people that think the next clue or two might be the same as your guess. I'm with you all, it makes sense that we would use those HST to make that unit. Bonnie seems to like using it a lot.
Love your guess at the next clue...and your colors are scrumptious.
So fun to see other quilters pieces and how they organize and store them. That is a great guess... can't wait til Friday!
The method you use to organize the pieces into paper bags seems to work well. You may be right about the next clue for the Mystery. I hardly can wait for it. Merry Summery Christmas!!! Hugs from Brazil.
Wow! Your prediction is beautiful!. I've never done any of Bonnie's quilts before, but your guess looks great! Also I think your fabric choices are gorgeous!
Your mystery looks great so far!
You have a very good guess about the next clue, I think! I love your colors, they are very appropriate for summer. It's winter where I am but one of the very nice things about Bonnie's mysteries is seeing what quilters on the other side of the world are doing. Merry Christmas!
Wow, I never thought of out guessing the next clue(s). I am longing for blue. Has anyone thought of that clue 1 may be the borders? Great job on your parts and colors and ...for keeping up.
That's an interesting guess for the next block!
You prediction for step 5 is great, but a little bit difficult for me. We´ll see...
You were right! Only orange-yellow switching. Any other ideas?
This was a great guess! Do you have the whole quilt layout figured out, too? I shall visit you for the next clue ... ;) Pat
Very organized on the Solstice! Great colors - and an excellent guess! :)
