"Determination", almost finished!

I've showed bits and pieces of Orca Bay, now called "Determination", over the last few months - this project went on for a long time - I'm guessing there are well over 3000 pieces in this baby!  It was started as a Mystery, from Quiltville.com, after Christmas, January 2012.  The top went together quickly, but then I couldn't decide how to quilt it, especially wanting to emphasize the diagonal lines.  Here it is, so far.  I have the borders to finish, then the binding.  There is a LOT of quilting on this project.  The "light" is done in a pale variegated pink - a LOT of quilting, and the dark stars are quilting in dark blue, a simple continuous curving lines around the stars points and through the center.  That outer border is a black marble - less dramatic than pure black.   The Backing is a medium dark blue, and I used a variegated blue thread in the bobbin. The border went together so well - a miracle!  Thanks Bonnie Hunter!

Here is a corner and part of the quilting - a curvy loopy line/vine, that swerved into the large white triangle with a heart-chaped leaf.  I'm getting close to DONE!
