Design Wall Monday #1

First design wall posting of 2012...very exciting!
My sewing room is a total mess and I have too many projects on the go, but on my design wall are my ohio star blocks for the Quiltville Orca Bay mystery
I am almost finished step #7, but Bonnie has revealed the mystery pattern, and it is a gorgeous quilt! I am making a half sized version of this design, and am really enjoying sewing with these Grace (by 3 sisters) fabrics. I can't wait to get some sewing time so I can go on to step #8.
To see how other quilters are progressing with their mystery quilts, visit the links posted at Quiltville.

How smart you were to halve the blocks! I wish I'd have thought of that. Yours looks terrific!! :)

love your blocks, I'm considering make two halves now, I don't know... I'm not liking my color choices now either.

Kate said...

Very pretty blocks. Hope you can find time to move on to step 8.

They look just beautiful all together and would be a wonderful quilt on their own.

Your stars are lovely. Great fabric choice.

Jory said...

Your colorway is so "mellow' -- very comforting and easy on the eyes, yet complicated and engaging. I'd say this will be a complete success!! Way to go!!

Linda said...

Love your blocks!Can't wait to see the end result.

Candace said...

I can't wait to see it too. I think that next mystery if it has lots of string blocks like the last two, I may do what you did, pick a fabric that I like, maybe even a stripe, and use it instead of the strings. I think that it would definitely make things easier, and make the quilt a little less busy. I'm loving mine, but I think I'd love it as much or more if it were a little less busy. I've given string blocks a try now and I still don't like making them, although I love the way they look. Love your Ohio stars.
