Can you believe it...Orca Bay (or in my world Phynizy Swamp) is a quilt top! This is a first step finish in my book!
Now to find a back for it. Which means Road-trip! Next week I'm going up to Mary Jo's with some other quilters. Should be fun. I have a short list of things I need look for...mainly some backings, a border, and some wools. All good.
I went by my friend Ille's house this afternoon. This snowball quilt she is working on is wonderful! Love how she designed the center panel.
It has a lot of thread-painting on it.
We also looked at some of her vintage tops. She is thinking of selling this red and white Whigs Defeat top...
Now I have to spend some time putting up the fabrics I used for the Orca Bay and start to work on my next UFO...
or maybe play with the cat...cleaning is so overrated....

Orca Bay looks lovely!
I had to look twice to see the snowball blocks in that quilt--amazing!
Whoa! Awesomeness abounds here. I love your Phynizy Swamp. You have to know I love seeing this great Whig's Defeat. Wish I could buy that one. :( And Sio, that snowball quilt is like nothing I've seen before. Amazing. Truly.
Thanks for including the sweet picture of Brownie. A great post!!!
I love your Phynizy Swamp quilt, the pattern and colours are amazing. Have fun finding a backing for it. Your friends snowball is gorgeous. xo
Congratulations on finishing your Orca Bay / Phynizy Swamp quilt top! Oh how I'd like to make a run to Mary Jo's!!!!
I like the name you have for your Orca Bay quilt.
The red & white Whig's Defeat looks like it is well made. I have always liked that design. But I made a decision a few years ago not to be the keeper of antique quilts.
beautiful!!!! very stained glass. glad the Brownster is doing better.
Love your finish on th OB quilt. I too, need to find the right backing. Great job on your friend's snowball quilt! Love the colors and arrangement.
Yay on your finish! Woohoo! And that snowball quilt is really intriguing.....it looked at first like one piece of wild fabric! Very cool!
I think your Orca Bay is perfectly wonderful!!!
Your Orca Bay looks fabulous...well done on getting it done! It does get messy making scrappy quilts, doesn't it. It always feels good to clean up and reset before diving into the next thing.
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Ya playing with the cat is a great Idea.
