Part 4 of Orca Bay is out and my favourite things are in it. Red, strips & starch.
Unfortunately, life got in the way this weekend. I have two customer quilts to quilt and I helped my daughter-in-law with some crafty things she wanted to do for my granddaughter's first birthday and also for Christmas.
Also, as you can see from the two blocks I did manage to sew, I have chosen to use 3/4" strips for this part. I love the way these narrow strips allow bits of colour to pop out of the reds. The suggestion of red is dominant and the snippets of other colours inject life into the block.
So this all means that it is going to take me twice as long as everyone else to get the blocks sewn. See you later!

wow, that's ambitious! Mine are varied in size, although I do love the little skinny ones a lot.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! And I see you have stay-stitched them, that will take some extra time!
ReplyDeleteYour narrow strips sure make a great looking block. Have fun!
ReplyDeletelove the variety you have achieved. Going to be very stunning when it all comes together.
ReplyDeleteYour reds are terrific. Lots of variety.
ReplyDeleteI love the narrow strips! I can't get over how great these string blocks are
ReplyDeleteI can just see the colors of the sunset in your string blocks, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks Sandra :)
ReplyDeleteI like the narrow strips but it does take a while.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I like the thinner strips as well, but 1 inch is the smallest I go. Yours look fabulous!! I agree the add colors really back it sparkle!
