the title is a bit of a misnomer as i haven't actually CONstructed the top yet. what you see are all the various parts in various stages of completion. yes, all the ohio star blocks are done as are the cheddar strippy squares. i've still more purple strippies to do as well as finish up the green triangles AND cut the light triangles for the border units. whew! i am on my third set of 6 bobbins for this project alone; that's right, i've already used 12 bobbins of thread, currently on my 13th, not to mention my 3rd spool of the stuff. i am still thinking this will be a january finish as i've almost nothing else to do every day. **** i've also been quilting on the center diamond, just about finishing the 4th brown triangle; next are the brown corner squares of the next border and then the borders, for which i'm thinking baptist fans....not sure yet. i've had a stencil of fans i bought ages ago and this would be a good place to use it, i think. once that border is done, it's just the outside, which is about 11" wide--plenty of luscious quilting space indeed!
You are awfully close on Orca Bay. Wish I was that far along. Yes, I finally started one. It won't be as large. I am doing it with thrift store shirts and when I run out of the colors I need I am done. I don't think I will find more shirts in the colors I chose anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see the progress on the Center Diamond quilt.
Just went looking for a Baptist Fan quilt stencil. No one around here had one. I'm going to try online next.
I love the colors more each time I see the blocks!
