Here it is - Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay mystery quilt all finished. Not sure if I will stay with the name, but will give it some serious thought.
I decided not to make it as big as Bonnie did for the original. It was way too big for where I want to use it, so I left off two rows on the side and two from along the bottom. Hence I have a few blocks left over and think I will put them into a charity quilt - the colours and blocks will work well for a teenager's quilt - unfortunately they don't seem to get as many quilts as they do for babies and young kids.
I will definitely be making another of Bonnie's mysteries - really enjoyed it (although a sewing marathon); her chatter along with her instructions are very easy to read and understand, together with plenty of pics with each step.
Now to get back to my UFOs and other projects. Ho Hum....

Your version looks great, Joy! Good idea re the leftover blocks, too. :)
The mystery quilt looks fabulous Joy and I would think there would be a lot of chain piecing to make this large quilt. Take care.
Love your quilt Joy, well done. The colours work well together. Do you hire out your son for holding up quilts? I sure could use him, being short myself!!!!
It is beautiful, Joy! Well done!
It's come up well Joy. I've saved the instructions for Orca Bay, but I'll have to forget what the finished quilt looks like before I do it as a mystery!
Wow! Joy. That looks great. You have certainly started the year with a bang and a 'focus'.
