This is what is on my design wall. I had been gifted lots of extra hour glass blocks and parts. I think I had 187 of them to start. I decided to look for something to do with them and happened to have Bonnie Hunter's latest book in my hand. I landed on Pfeffernuse. The onlly issue is my hour glass blocks are 2.5" and the pattern calls for 3.5". I am going to make the quilt using these and just make a lap/throw size. I am also going to lengthen it so I will need 336 total. I have more made and need an additional 100 with pieces made for about half of those.
On July 6th I completed my second Orca Bay top. Shown here is the first one completed over a year ago.
Here is the second one just completed.
Here they are side by side. If you really study them you will see that I used an alternate layout for #2. The red triangles with wings are accentuating the white block in the second one making the black color more saturated. Also, all the color really makes the black pop too.
Head on over to Judy L's to see what is on everyone else's design wall.

Two!!!! Love them both.
I can't help myself...I really like the vibrancy of the alternate layout that you made. Looks great!
They are both great, but I agree icscottage--the second one sings!
Wow. This is an interesting color placement lesson. Congratulations on getting two quilts done.
ooohh 2 of them? you are strong! i love the 2nd with the addition of the cheddar....makes it pop!
That is an insane number of pieces, and of points that need to be not chopped off. I can't believe you made two of them, well done.
