The hourglass block is 2 1/2 inches and, oh, so cute. I need almost 250 of them. My plan is to make 10 every morning for sure, as well as the double wedding ring, before breakfast and then, if I get time during the day that will be a bonus. It will be slow but steady. If I don't make a time, I won't get to it.
I have the first 10 finished.
Jo of Jo's country junction is trying to finish all the quilts in quiltville's string fling book before the new book is published. I am trying to finish all the mystery quilts as part of that challenge before the new mystery in November. My challenge finishes here
Oh scrap
Great plan. The salami method works great especially with piecing. Cut the project into workable sections and proceed.
ReplyDelete250 blocks, yes, you can do it ;)
ReplyDeleteThree years ago my dear friend lost her battle to recurring breast cancer—at 53! I promised to finish what I could of her 53 UFOs, between two of us we completed four of her quilts for her Celebration of Life a few months after her passing. Orca Bay was the last to finish—and our favourite. She had several of Bonnie’s mysteries on the go, and many other items, too. Hopefully whichever of her children received it loves it as much as we did; she had coral and deep tea accents. It was stupendous! Jill in Calgary/Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan. Bonnie seems to specialize in those small blocks to make larger blocks. I'm still working on all those flying geese for On Ringo Lake.
ReplyDeleteI am working on finishing a lot of ufos too. I think I have one B. Hunter one in the pile. Good job on setting a daily goal - a bite of the elephant every day!
ReplyDeleteI always LOVE seeing someone work on an Orca Bay, as I've kept the files all these years since it came out so that I could make it, as well. BH quilts are perfect for long-term plans of chunk sewing X-number of minutes per day. It will one day magically emerge and you'll love it so much!!!
