This quilt will be my second Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt, the first one was Orca Bay. Of course I am changing up the colors to take advantage of pulling fabrics from my stash. Blues have been changed to deep purples, purple-browns and some darker purple/green/brown batiks. I have a lot of orange golds and greens in my stash. BUT, am so short on neutrals. I guess that tells me that I have to do some shopping for neutrals.
I have decided to use the paper piecing method to construct the Tri-Recs. Perhaps constructing this quilt will help me from losing my mind by losing my points. Thank you Bonnie for providing the PP templates.
My fabrics: a mix of batiks and prints, oh and fabric from bedsheets.If they are cotton, they are candidates!

Orca Bay Mystery Quilt
Last fall I decided to join Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay Mystery Quilt project.This is my first mystery quilt. It did use of up some of my scrap stash. I was ever so glad when it was finished, soo many little pieces and soo busy. I eliminated the flying geese borders and added solid black and a black print border to make it fit a full sized bed.
