Here is a small version of the Orca Bay mystery quilt that I assembled on my design wall so I could see the pattern, which Bonnie Hunter published on New Years Day. This project has been so much fun! I am tempted to scale down this quilt and make it a little smaller (which I did the last time I attempted a complicated mystery quilt like this one) so that I can finish it faster----I'll see how much time I can give it in the next few weeks.
Either way, it's going to be an interesting quilt. I love the colors---I feel like I got lucky when I picked the yellow/orange, as you never know what it will look like when you make a change. Can't wait to see what everyone else has done!
I love your colours, it's going to be beautiful when it's done.
ReplyDeleteThat looks stunning! The yellow is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love blue and yellow together and with the black and white blocks, this one just pops. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to finish it and don't forget to show us over at Quiltvillechat :0)
Happy Sewing and Happy 2012
I love your colors! You do take a chance when you change colors on something like this but I'm like you: I want mine to be different and reflect my favorite colors. Won't it be fun to see it finished? Can't wait to see it. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I've not started mine yet, but I am loving the alternate color scheme you've chosen. Gives me something to think about when I choose my colors.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't started the mystery yet. Partly because I couldn't figure out what colors to use. After seeing your version, I think I have!! Beautiful and Vibrant!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this will look great with all the blocks, smaller will lose some of the impact which is beautiful with your colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour choices!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors! Love seeing all the different versions folks have come up with...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it is to see the mystery solved. It looks like you may have had bonus sewing time over the holiday. Happy New Year.

ReplyDeleteThis will be a beautiful quilt! I love the colors you selected. Several bloggers are making them bigger but the idea of a mystery this large intimidates me so thanks for the idea of making it smaller.
ReplyDeleteI loved youe color choice right from the start. It looks great no matter what size you make it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your colour combo! I'm making a smaller version too :)

ReplyDeleteGreat color choices - can't wait to see the finished quilt - no matter what the size!

ReplyDeleteI clicked on your link because of the vibrant colors. It looks like Stained Glass
ReplyDeleteI really love your yellow! It makes the top shine.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so bright and cheerful!! Yes, I'd say your color choices are spectacular (and not a case of "lucking out!"_ -- Jory
ReplyDeleteyour quilt and one other person both used yellow, and I have to say what a stunning result!! Blue and yellow are so complimentary to each other. I love your quilt and color choices!! Keep on keepin on! :)
ReplyDeleteLove from Indiana! ~bonnie
love the orange and blue...great job!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning. I can't wait to start seeing all the finished quilts, especially the different color variations like yours and mine. It'll be fun seeing the ones in Bonnie's colors too, but at this point the mavericks are more of a mystery, lol.
ReplyDeleteOf all the quilts I have seen so far I love your color choices. Wishing I had taken part in this mystery.
