Orca Bay Part 1...

Done! 224 QST's made and waiting to find their place in this quilt! 



















Isn't this the prettiest 'mess' you ever did see? I loev these colors together. These are the trimmings from my QST's...and NO...I didn't save them. 






























I shifted gears from my original color scheme. These are the colors I am now using. 

red- aqua/teal 
blue - brown 
black - black
neutral - pink/salmon


I think I will like this color scheme better than the white originally planned in place of the red. Also, I went with fabrics that read more 'solid' for my teals, pinks and browns.

RRCB...Quilted

This quilt took me nearly a year to finish...but I did it!


 I did a topography type of meander quilting on it for texture. I LOVE IT!


I built a scrappy backing too. I love the back. It is fun!
