Not a great start for 2012!
I spent 3 hours today working on Orca Bay. I finished sewing the black and white 'wing'
units and stitched a few to the red string triangles. I also made one block with a black nine patch and one with a white to make sure my wing units were going to work out. I am not thrilled with the accuracy of my piecing, but it is not bad enough to redo the work.
I wish there were a way to get rid of some of the bulk in the seams. There are so many little pieces intersecting, I am having a hard time getting the seams flat even though I am pressing the heck out of them. I could press everything open, but I don't think it is worth the trouble. Once the long armer is finished quilting it, I don't think the bulk will bother me so much. Quilting Muggles (as Frances from The Off Kilter Quilt calls non-quilters) will not even be able to tell there is an issue.
