Orca Bay Mystery Quilt

I've always enjoyed making mystery quilts and Bonnie Hunter over at quiltville is running a mystery quilt again this year.  Bonnie is well known for having lots and lots of small piecing in her quilts and this one is no exception.   There have been three sets of instructions so far and this is how much progress I have made.

Bonnie's says this quilt is "only" medium size, but it's still bigger than I normally make so I'm starting with about half of the number of units that she suggests.  (I was still a bit daunted by the thought of making 175 half square triangles, but it actually went quite quickly!)  I can make more later if I need to; there's still lots more 2" strips to use up!

This time last year we were making Roll Roll Cotton Boll as a mystery quilt  This is what my (smaller) version turned out like.  I love it and so does the person I gave it to.

Thanks Bonnie, for your generosity. 

Way too busy!

Yes, I've been way too busy to post!  Our beautiful granddaughter Hannah and her friend Markus are visiting from Perth on the first leg of their journey down the east coast.

We've been having a fabulous time showing them around.

Today we're off to have a look at Eumundi, Noosa and the Northern Beaches.
