I have finished cutting out the 350 pairs of triangles for the Orca Bay Mystery. I have 170 sewn together and should have the rest of them sewn together by Friday when clue number four is revealed.
While in my scrap bin I found a bunch of 1 1/4" strips and decided to sew all the blue and cream strips together. Thinking of putting them together into 16 patch blocks and then maybe adding something red.
Finished the week by organizing the scraps that I got from my Mom. I ironed them and cut them into 2 1/2", 2", and 1 1/2 " strips. The leftovers will eventually be squares or triangles.
On Sunday I went to 2nd and Charles (a used book store in Augusta) with my husband. While he looked for a book to use for his class, I looked at the quilting books. I found two that had ideas and tecniques on what quilting designs to put on quilts. They were very reasonable (about $12.00 for both books) and will be good reference.
Now I have to get busy and see what I can accomplish this week.

Your Orca Bay HSTs seem to be coming along nicely and you seem so organized. I'm quite jealous of all that you've accomplished.
It seems to me that you are always accomplishing so much! I do like your blue and white quilt idea.
And what a great find in the book store. Sounds like wonderful reference material.
Looks like you've been busy ! Love your idea of putting those 1 1/4" strips to use ;-))
Loved reading your blog...seeing your bookshop finds had me a tad envious...Well done on Orca bay and for getting those books
