Orca Bay Mystery Quilt Progress on December 8th

 Clue 1 was 224 quarter square triangle units. They were fun but pretty overwhelming to begin with. I just kept matching them up and before long they were all done and ready to go. I started using the strips and sewing pairs together but wound up using triangulations. I don't really have scraps to speak of and have taken the challenge to use fabrics only from my stash. So far so good.

 Clue 2 is made up of 72 string pieced blocks. They are the cutest little things and I can see why people get addicted to making scrappy things....I can see placemats, wall hangings and window treatments in my future. Yay for scraps!!

Clue 3 are half square triangles 350 units--I made 360 since I used Triangulations and did 15 pages of 24 units each. Love Triangulations. I am happy with the number of fabrics I have. Some day I will do a full on scrappy quilt, but this is a wonderful way to delve into the Scrappy Kingdom.

You are welcome to join the festivities, you can find us at http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/orca-bay-mystery.html

Orca Bay Mystery Quilt Progress

I am participating in my first ever Mystery Quilt. Bonnie Hunter is an amazing, talented and generous quilter. She is also the Queen of Scraps. Every November she hosts a mystery quilt challenge.
The exciting thing is that this is a scrap quilt with many, many little pieces.
I have been saving scraps for over thirty years in hopes of doing something with them...someday.
Someday is here and I am enjoying the challenge.
My colors will be purple, pink and green with beige backgrounds.
Progress is pictured above.
