ORCA MYSTERY by Bonnie Hunter

Okay, I know I said (a long while back) that I wasn’t going to do any more mysteries.  Nope, NEVER!   Well guess what, I should never say never because I have yet again succumbed! LOL… (Thanks to my very good friend Frummie ;))

Bonnie Hunter is currently hosting a new mystery.  (See link in side bar of to the OrcaMystery).  You can still join in if I can tempt you ;))

Here is my progress so far.  I have done all of part one’s 224 QSTs using Inklingo QST collection here.   If I didn’t have Inklingo I doubt very much I would have even got started by now, let alone finished.   Here’s on the right is my box full of the little devils  angels…. ;) and on the left a picture of them prepared and ready to stitch.  See those printed sewing and cutting lines ;-D

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve also done some string piecing for parts 2 and 4.  Here they are up on my design wall with a few spare QSTs that I had left over.

Now I’m killing two birds with one stone here.  I’ve ‘owed’ my DS a quilt for ages now.  I did have a much more simple pattern in mind, which come to think of it, had I put in as much sewing as I have so far with this mystery it would have been finished, LOL… however, it wouldn’t have been as much fun… would it.

I still have to make a start on part 3… some more little rascals.  1.5 inch finished Half Square Triangles, 350 of them!  And yes, I will be using Inklingo to make these too :-D  I’ll be using collection 2 which is on a discontinued CD; however,  there is a new downloadable collection for HSTs on the Inklingo website should you be interested.

Okay, I think I’ll go grab a cup of tea and chill awhile before making supper ;-D

Have a great day!
