What’s on My Design Floor Monday, November 28, 2011

We are on Step 2 on our Orca Bay Quiltville Mystery Quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter. This step involves paper piecing 3 1/2″ squares. These are just the cutest pieces EVER and they are made with SCRAPS and STRIPS of fabric from 3/4″ wide to 1 1/2″ wide. Making these barely makes a DENT in my scrap bag stash. We need 72 and I am making two Orca Bay Quilts! Here is a sample of my Orca Bay 1 and Orca Bay 2 Step 2 blocks!
Orca Bay 1 - Shades of Gold
Since this is a mystery quilt, I have no idea how these blocks will be used in the quilt….but I doubt that they will be sewn together like I have them pictured!
Orca Bay 2 - Shades of Green
Here are my finished Orca Bay 1 Step One Quarter-Square Triangles – 224 of them!

I just love how you put your colors together. Making two of these, bless your heart! Those gold and green strings are just so cute, not sure which one I like better. But I kept going back to those gold ones a few times. Just wonderful
Good for you Shirley. I am not doing Orca Bay at this time although I am saving the steps. I’m finishing my Carolina Christmas… or at least getting farther along.
Wow, you have been busy. TWO QUILTS (written with astonishment). Seriously your colors are great and I hope you have fun with both of them.
Wow – lovely, bright and happy looking!
Oh my good Lord you are ambitious to do TWO Orca Bay quilts! Love the gold and green string blocks!
Two! You are amazing! Both your yellow and green blocks look great – can’t wait to see how they both turn out.
Wow two mystery quilts. I want to be like you will I grow up. I am still plugging away at clue 1. See you Saturday.

Hi! Greetings from Finland! Your quilts are so fantastic! It’s so nice to find other quilters all around the world! 🙂
Oh boy, two Orca Bays, good for you. I’m sure they’ll both be awesome, Bonnie’s patterns always are.
