ORCA BAY WEEK 2

I have finished the 224 black and white quarter square blocks and have one blue string block done. All my blue strips are ready though so I hope to plug along and get finished before Friday!

This is my first time doing freestyle string blocks on telephone book paper or on anything for that matter. I have been nervous to start. Freewheeling is almost harder than following step by step and fabric by fabric. I'm so glad to be doing this project to get over that already!!

This afternoon, I need to cut some large quarter square triangles for another project in a class tomorrow, so I have to take a break from Orca Bay.

When you get to the part when you have to take the paper off the back, look at my blog and see my trick for taking the paper off in not time! RabidQuilter3.blogspot.com

Beautiful little blocks, and such pretty vibrant blues. It's going to be an awesome quilt.

Hopefully you have been able to make progress on string blocks. Step 3 is out tomorrow am and I can't wait.
