Default Bella Bella quilt progress

I started this St Mark's wall hanging last fall, but it got pushed aside while doing other projects. But I have it back on my design wall. The first picture is the quilt on my cutting table. I was just laying it out to make sure I had all the colors in the right places. The 2nd picture was taken last night of the quilt on my design wall. I am 2/3rds of the way through with this part of the wallhanging. The wedges are not sewn together yet, just pinned in place. I started out with paper piecing but then switched to "paperless piecing" after someone posted that method here on the quilting board.
Here is a link to the paperless piecing method: http://pinterest.com/pin/268386459013175068/
Here is a link to Norah McMeeking's Bella Bella Wall hangings: http://www.bellabellaquilts.com/bella.html
If you order her book and pattern, the pattern comes printed on freezer paper, which is what is needed for paperless piecing.

Now to see if I can post the pictures. Sorry about the quality, I took them with my cell phone camera!

What a fabulous quilt!!! I am glad that it is no longer a ufo. The paperless piecing was demoed in one of my quilt groups. Great way to save time.

That is going to be fabulous! It looks so intricate, but looking closer I can see how it breaks down. I will love to see the finished quilt.

I am working on Venice Rose from Bella Bella. All the quilts in that book are so lovely. I take breaks from doing the spokes as it is tedious work isn't it. But as yours will be lovely, we need to push forward and complete a very rewarding quilt.
