Donation Quilts

I've been busy making some donation quilts.  "Tropical Lightning" is very apt to the season - we're still having summer storms!

And this isn't actually a quilt yet.  I've made up these quilt-as-you-go string blocks and I'll donate them as is - I'm sure someone will just love to put them together.  Ann's really good at it!

Sorry the photo's a bit fuzzy
I still have lots of strings left, even green ones.

Orca Bay Update

Top's done!

I've deviated from Bonnie's plan by putting the red strings to the light stars and also by using a darker frame.  I'm fairly sure Bonnie doesn't mind, and I love it.  Today I picked up some pinky mauve double width backing from Patchwork Angel (and it was on sale!) and once that's washed it's all off to the Quilting Fairy.  Woohoo!
Before you go, hop on over to Quiltville to see what everyone else has been doing with their Orca Bay mystery.
