here is my design wall this last monday in january. i am finally starting to put together the orca bay rows and am i glad! seems like i've been stripping and sewing and trimming and cutting for ages now but as you can see, it is well worth the effort. i am anxious now to get the whole flimsy together and i think i am going to bind it in the cheddar, only because it might just seem to fade out if i don't. oh, this is going to be a beauty i think. maybe then i can get that feathered star top finished. **** we are still enjoying spurts of spring here with temps over 40 yesterday and a few days this week as well. more rain in our future but only the skiers are moaning....i'll take the liquid precip over the frozen kind any time.
Grace, check the directions on your strippie pieces, both the triangles and the squares. They are off. This quilt s a hard one to assemble and I had to rip several times. I'm not talking about the fact that some of your triangles have the strips going the other way, I'm referring to the direction of the triangle itself. I love your colors, and I'd hate for you to lose the secondary design.
ReplyDeleteOrca Bay is looking good. That is one cheery quilt!
ReplyDeleteI had to enlarge the photo and study it to see what Melodie was talking about. I finally figured it out, but it is your quilt and maybe that layout is what you prefer. However you place the blocks, that color combo and the strings make for a stunning quilt!
ReplyDeletethanks for the warning...i'll double check before i do anymore!
