Busy Friday...

I went to Augusta this morning to pick up the last block for my Tonga BOM and the finishing kit. I was able to get half of my red triangles done. not sure if I have enough red scraps to finish these.
 I am also getting low on black/white scraps. So far I was able to cut out about half of the Orca Bay step five triangles. I assembled four to see what they will look like.
I must now stop and make the dough for our traditional nut roll cookies. My MIL and SIL are coming over at 10:00am tomorrow to help assemble the nut roll cookies. So, I have to put away all my quilt stuff back into my quilting pantry and clean the rest of the kitchen. No more stitching/cutting until the cookies are done...

Orca Bay part 4 progress...

I Have about one quarter of the triangles done.
It has taken me awhile to get these done, because I have been finishing the last quilt for a friend. Also I killed our main computer somehow. Don't know what I did, but it is now at the computer doctor. Luckily I have my DD#1's old notebook computer to use as a back up. I have been unable to remember or get my email so until further notice I cannot answer or read emails. Now my DH is happily planning on getting a new desktop computer. I hope to be caught up by Friday evening with Orca Bay part 4.
This is the front of the Batman quilt. I did stars and loops on it.
The blue thread showed up really nice on the borders.
I used a primary variegated thread on the back. I think her Grandson is going to love this quilt.
