It was a weekend of little bits of lots of things. I did manage to finish piecing all of the blocks for the
Four Square Brown quilt. I'm not crazy about the light colored blocks, but maybe they will grow on me? I'll get that webbed together soon and make some decisions about borders.
Rainbow Crumb Bricks is on the frame. It is about half done so far. The quilting pattern is called double bubble and it goes pretty quick.
I got just a few more
Bow-Tie blocks put together and spent some time playing with my new
Double Wedding Ring die. If I keep practicing, I am sure I will master curved set in seams. Pop over to
Judy's Blog to see what is on everyone's design wall this Monday.
In between all of that I worked on
Orca Bay step three. All the units are cut out, and it looks like about 50 of them have gotten finished up so far. The rest are waiting patiently by the machine until I have time to get back to them again. I'm not at all sure how these bits are going to fit together in the end, but I have faith that they will. Can't wait to break out the hot pink, I think it will perk things up. Be sure to visit
Bonnie's Blog to see the progress other people are making on their Orca Bay mystery quilts.
Lots of quilty activities going on! Isn't it funny how we can't wait to play with the next colour of Orca Bay?!?

ReplyDeleteDear Florida Twin,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for falling behind on your blog, but I like seeing that we both are making progress on Bonnie's mystery. However, the "Cheddar Challenge" simply is not in the works for me; too many other L/E tasks in mind :0)
Have you been running?
