Monday Design Wall - Quilting Tops and Orca Bay

My Design Wall has 2 projects I can't share, but here is the first step for the 2011 Bonnie Hunter Mystery, Orca. As soon as I have 10 done, they are safety pinned. I now have 200 done and will start piecing again after I finish quilting the table topper below. My mystery is also my "Leader/Ender" for my Christmas Projects.

I return to work today after a week off -- a little disappointed that I did not finish the Table Topper. My plan now is to finish by tomorrow night and hand sew the binding Wednesday.

And .... because I have started the 2011 Mystery, I HAVE TO QUILT and finish 2010 RRCB. I have ironed out the creases (after it was folded for months) and have it ready for sandwiching. I have more vacation around the holidays and will finish this for my bed.

On the wall -- two projects I will reveal after the holidays -- my family watches my blog!

Monday Design Wall -- RRCB Progress

This past weekend has been about quilting tops and binding. The Yellow Monochromatic Challenge is done and will post at 2:00 PM this afternoon. I can't wait to see the next color, especially now that my least favorite color is now out of the way. Although....I actually liked the finished quilt.

The above design wall is progressing with the RRCB Mystery Top, by Bonnie Hunter.... on the ironing board, the remaining blocks in various stages of completion. Hopefully by next Design Wall, this will be done.

Monday Design Wall - RRCB Progress

I have been hand sewing binding (2011 Finish #1) and quilting tops this week, however I have managed to finish a few blocks on the RRCB Mystery Quilt by Bonnie Hunter. Now...when she gave us permission to throw in the Year 2000 fabric, I took her up on it. Of course, I still have more -- so I will try and use it in the backing. Then I still have about 10 other pieces -- OH WHAT WAS I THINKING!

For more Design Walls -- visit Judy's Patchwork Times, I will be linking up -- last week it took me 3 days to visit all the other sites. I sure hope I see just as much inspiration this week.
