Orca Bay - 1/5/12

Yesterday I played with Orca Bay some more -
Until I ran out of gas and needed a nap -

Now I have 200 + 4 of the QST done -



I only have 20 more to go -



And I think I’m going to make a couple of extra ones while I'm at it -
Just in case some are a little wonky -
Just in case - who/whom am I kidding??
I KNOW some are going to be wonky - (some obviously more than others) -
Might as well make the extra ones while I’m making the regular ones - right? ;))

Oh - I almost forgot -

The other day - I pulled out some more blues -
I wanted to cut a strip off the end of some of my yardage -
To use in the string blocks - for more variety - YAY variety!!

And I found this bolt -
Can’t tell if you can read it or not -
But the end says - December 15, 1993
(The $4.98 price tag should have given you a clue - ;))



If you do the math -
I’ve had that particular bolt for 18 years!!

Told you that I've been collecting my stash for a while -

Can you hear Do you believe me now??

EDIT UPDATE -
Hey guys - go on over to visit Linda -

I asked her to do me a favor and she has posted a picture
of what her blocks would look like if she set them BOB's way -
it looks really good - for my black/white/red ones -
but I like Bonnie's version better for her brown/pink/green -
go check it out - see what you think!!



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

OMG...that bolt! I have that fabric (Love it) in some of my projects. We have the same taste. I still love that print. Would love to see it reissued.
