Yes, I am still woefully behind those who are keeping up with the Orca Bay Mystery, but I decided that I wanted to play, not race when I started. So each Friday, I save the clues, think about the fabric I’ll use for that part of the challenge & maybe get it cut.
This Sunday, I actually stitched! Since I adore string blocks, I skipped right to them. I finished 60 out of the 72 I need. I would have finished, but the Packers were on, and hey, a girl has to have priorities! Update: I finished off the blocks this morning. woohoo!
Here’s a sample of my strings
I broke down & ordered the 1.5” triangle die for my GO too, so step 3 is on hold at least until it comes in.
At least I feel like I am playing along in the mystery now with some finished blocks!

Gorgeous purple blocks - great job!
I like the purple. I just finished up my green string blocks this weekend. My post is at http://www.spiritblog.net/?p=3838.
Beautiful color set! Love it.
I like your color choice, but then, if you look further down the link page, you'll see why! For a moment, I thought this was my post, and yet I knew I hadn't photographed that many blocks. Don't worry about racing, I've done step 2 and most of 3, but haven't started the first one at all yet.
I am way behind this time around too. But no worries, I will get caught up eventually. I too am doing purple strings. :D
Wow, purple. A girl after my own heart, lol. I would love to have a go, do you like yours, do you feel it's worth the expense.
I'm not doing it ; but WOW ! I love love love the purple strings ! nice work Shannon !
You are not alone in the slow lane for Orca Bay travellers! Loved your blocks and I was lucky to have the 1.5 inch die!
