My Orca Bay mystery quilt is still in the assembly stage. Bonnie has done a fantastic job in giving us step by step instructions for making this beautiful quilt.

I decided to swap around the light and dark Ohio Stars and also to replace the white stars with the black background with a blue center. Then I think it's important to make sure the blue strings are running diagonally toward the blue centered Ohio Stars. Does that make any sence?
Paul wanted to add on a lean-to to the shop to get some of the farming equipment in out of the weather. Last week they poured concrete with the "Three Muskateers" looking on.
Last evening we had in all the children and their families for a pizza supper. This little tiny Tina likes to be held.
Then we celebrated Georgi's 2nd birthday.
Flinging the wrapping to get to the present!
The boys just have to help out.
What a cute little sleeping bag stuffed inside a weiner dog for a pillow.
Awww happy birthday, Georgi!! Looks like fun!

I love your OB quilt. I wish I had used a lighter blue in the string blocks as you did. Mine is dark and the quilt doesn't POP as nicely.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your OB! It's interesting to see how much variation there is even among the OB's done with Bonnie's colorway.
ReplyDeleteI like the changes you're making to Orca Bay. That will look terrific.
ReplyDeleteI love your Orca Bay. Your setting is very creative!
ReplyDeleteYour mystery quilt looks great. Good idea to watch the direction of those strippy blocks. What adorable little ones you have at your house!
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of changing the placement of the darks stars gives this quilt. I think I'm going to have to imitate your placement.
ReplyDeleteJulia - I like your setting. It looks like the one I came up with - check it out!!

The way you have changed the blocks is beautiful! This is going to look like an entirely different quilt! Thank goodness the weather has been warm enough for concrete and it looks like a wonderful birthday party!
