Very true bookworm.

Karen, depends on how I move the projects I am working on along, I may join the quilt along, I don't have the book, but it seems like all of these blocks have free patterns somewhere in the cyber world.

I started cutting and piecing more strips to make yet more string blocks, going on a ski vacation this coming week, so will get back to it when I get back. How is everybody coming along?
Emma, I am still waiting to see yours. Bookwork? Sadiemae? Karen? Nobody is allowed to get discouraged, you all will still have way more points in your quilts than I do in mine

I decided to add a border. I wanted the quilt just a bit larger, and also tried to tie the sea green in better. So these are just strips, but I liked the effect. I still think this quilt is too busy for me, and the colors just don't do it justice. But at least it's done.

Oh I like the strip border Sara! That is just beautiful. I love the colors.

I'm hoping to get back to Orca Bay next week. We've been out of town so I haven't worked on it for a few weeks. I'm still making the triangles in black and whites. Love SaraSewing's extra piano border and may do one too!!

PS-Sent a PM to Patrice for a New Quilt Story thread-quilt along permissions. Will let everyone know about it.

SaraSewing,

I positively love your quilt! If you bind it off using your black, the piano keys will tie in beautifully with the center.

Please do post a photo when you have this one completed. I can't wait to see it.

best,

Black binding would look amazing with that border.

NEW! BOM with Quilt Story Quilt-Along

Sadiemae

Did anyone find that the more blocks you put together the less picky you became???? I am finding that there are so many blocks to this quilt that I just have to let some things pass(perfect points????) that I would usually unsew and resew. I really just want to get more accomplished and finish this quilt.
What about you????

JeanieG

I agree Sadiemae, I really did not worry about them too much. I don't think anyone will notice when it is all done and over. It is such a busy quilt, there are going to be some imperfections. That was ok with me!

Yep, I am in the same boat. I started sewing the rows together yesterday and hope to get it done this weekend. At that point I will post a picture, weather permitting.
