Orca Bay, Progress - "Nearly 4000"

For viewers who haven't seen this project, the layout of this quilt is/was a surprise - we have a bunch of LIGHT stars yet to fit in, and the end plan is amazing.  Here's my version of Orca Bay -- although I want to come up with my own name - probably something like "407,287 pieces!"  just kidding about that many pieces but I DO think it might be "Nearly 4000."  Hey, there's the quilt name!

Four of my dark stars have pink in the middle, and 4 light stars have pink in the middle.  Hope the pink centers are not distractive.  I DO love the characteristics of strings.  Too short, and they can be stretched a bit -- too long and they are easily trimmed.  Most of my pieces fit well.

I still have the border pieces to cut and make, but I'm liking this quiltville.com
  Mystery a LOT! 

People sometimes ask, "How long did it take you to make?" I started November 27.  Not long when one get's organized, driven, obsessive,  compulsive and guarded with one's time!  LOL

Now, I'm off to see all the various versions posted all over the Internet!  WE're all having FUN - Thanks Bonnie!
