"I Spy A Triangle" Quilt

"I Spy A Triangle"

This is what I am calling this new quilt.

I am joining in this quilty fun ...

Here is the stack of fabrics I pulled for this quilt.

The stripe on the bottom is my tentative plan for binding fabric.

This quilty fun is being hosted by Paula @ The Sassy Quilter

and she has lots of tips and tricks.

One of them is to use lots of Best Press to help control the stretch of the bias cuts.

So I sprayed and pressed, 

Here are my stacks of triangles.

One of them was an impulse addition while I was cutting 

and I do not think it will make it into this quilt.

Can you tell which one? 

Hint:  It is not in the stack above.

It looks out of place with the other fabrics in this photo, 

but it actually does not look so out of place on my table.

Hmmmm. 

Sometimes I like to study the photos as it gives me a chance to step back 

and give me a new perspective.

I am linking up today with all the pretty quilts in progress in

Week 2 - Cutting Triangles

Thanks, Paula!

Update with a sunny morning photo of my fabrics 

... with the odd fabric out ... 

I am enjoying seeing all the pictures of the quilts in progress in the 

Triangle QAL Flickr Album

Lots of pretty eye candy!

Have a happy quilty weekend!

My New Temporary Design Wall

This is my new (temporary) design wall.

As my regular readers know, I have moved (temporarily) to my old dining room

 sewing space as my sewing room is occupied by one of my sons.

  I do not mind sewing in our living area, but apparently 

I became very spoiled by having had my own space where I was able to "spread out."   

So ... I seem to be extending my sewing space further by branching into the adjoining living room.  

I am now calling this quilt in the making
"Anything Goes With Gray"
in my head.

One of the things I liked most about my sewing room was that I was finally able to set up a temporary design wall and this was so useful that I had been making sewing room improvement plans to make a permanent design wall.

I now cannot sew without some kind of design wall.

So with the help of my hubby I made a new temporary one by putting a large piece of batting over our big entertainment wall bookcase in the living room.

Yes, there is a television behind these

  Friendship x and + Swap Blocks.

I had to play catch-up on these blocks, which I am swapping with my quilty bestie,

Dorian @ Ridge Top Quilts.

These are my February, March and April blocks.

I shall actually be ahead for once!

I really need my design wall for these blocks ~~~>

My Spring Frolic Quilt In Progress

Here are some of the other blocks.
I really have  a difficult time stopping myself when my
 "30 minutes a day of sewing for me time" is up
when I have these fabrics in my hands.
I have so many projects to catch up on that I have to keep to my self-imposed limit
so I can get everything accomplished.

I will get this spring quilt done.

And Spring Will Come ... soon, I am hoping. 

This has become my focused 

My 30/30 Sewing Challenge

and is a big item on my

My Quilty Bucket List

I have a new addition to my bucket list ~~~~>

This Triangle Quilt Along @ Sassy Quilter

A 60 Degree Triangle Quilt has been on my quilty bucket list for a long, long time
and this fun quiltalong was just the incentive to get it off my "To-Do" list
and onto my "WIP List."   A small step in the right direction.

Sew I have many happy projects to choose from
when I sit down in my happy sewing place.

... just keep sewing ...

Linking up with ...

What are you working on today?

I am always looking for more quilty inspiration.
