I puttered along on the 350 units for Step 5 of Orca Bay. Now I'm up to 80 done and while I'm pleased with my progress, I feel like I'd better pick up the pace to be done before Friday's next clue.
Here are today's and yesterday's work all together:

Wing Triangles
Bright sun but colder and windy today, but warm enough to prewash a few nice homespuns for the upcoming strip swaps in Nickelswap.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nickelswap/ I recently saw a great looking quilt made from homespuns in a random basket weave pattern. Still thinking about whether or not that's what I'd like to do with my large collection of homespun.

This was the second fat quarter of that silly Thanksgiving black background print that I just found so I'm using it. I think that it came from the shop at Keepsake Quilting's April sale on FQ's for $1 each if you buy 20 of them.

The red cherries on the deep black background fabric was a find. It's Mary Englebreit designed for Cranston and although Cranston is usually very thin cotton, this felt beefier and nice quality. So I bought it at Wal-Mart clearance and paid like $3.50 for the yard. I love bargains, don't you?
