Andee's Green Bay quilt is off the LA. It's her version of the mystery from Bonnie Hunter originally called Orca Bay, and Andee made hers in greens and golds. She is from Wisconsin hence the Green Bay name!
I knew that whatever thread or design was quilted, it would not show, but it's a Pattern Man design of helmets and footballs.
Just for fun, on the bottom edge I quilted "Green Bay Packers Go Pack Go" a couple of times then there will never be any doubt as to the quilt's name.
It turned out beautifully, though you never get the effect of Bonnie's designs on the LA, too close-with all those thousands of tiny pieces you need more distance to get perspective on the design.
The little boy is here all day and I hope to get to the gym while GF watches over Matthew's sleep time. There are some HOB quilts I need to mail out to families so hopefully I can also get to the Post Office.
Then there is one more of Andee's quilts to go on the LA, and it is my plan to begin on that today also.
Beautiful work! Love the quilting and the fact that you managed to get in the Green Bay references...
ReplyDeleteYou do such nice work and put so much thought into how you will quilt things!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS. This may be my very favorite that you have quilted for me...and not sure I can give it to Randy...darn it! Thank you Ros...you really brightened a really dark day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! And you have a big day planned for sure. Here's a hug for strength to get you through all your doings...

This is the prettiest Orca Bay I have seen this far. I am doing one too...specifically chose bright colors for the Aztec calendar connection...it may be TOO bright. I will post it on my blog when finished. i would like to do this pattern again, enlarging the blocks so the pieces are not so small.
