ORCA BAY WEEK 2

I have finished the 224 black and white quarter square blocks and have one blue string block done. All my blue strips are ready though so I hope to plug along and get finished before Friday!

This is my first time doing freestyle string blocks on telephone book paper or on anything for that matter. I have been nervous to start. Freewheeling is almost harder than following step by step and fabric by fabric. I'm so glad to be doing this project to get over that already!!

This afternoon, I need to cut some large quarter square triangles for another project in a class tomorrow, so I have to take a break from Orca Bay.

ORCA BAY WEEK 1

I'm so happy to have started on time. I'm not too far along but am giddy with how cute the black and white quarter square triangles are turning out. I am using the companion angle ruler and it sure makes accurate triangles quite easily. Lots to do to finish by Thursday.

I also am posting a pic of my little pilgrims. My LQS Grand Country Quilters is selling this cute kit and I finished it in time to hang for the Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone is having fun with Bonnie's new mystery quilt!
