I finished up all of the 16 patches needed for my quilt. They are so pretty all stacked up in piles of ten so I could keep count as I made them. So Tuesday I started cutting the background fabric. I need a lot of setting triangles so I decided the easiest way to cut them was to start with a square and cut diagonally from corner to corner. I started with an extra half inch and will need to trim my rows down before sewing together, but I think it will really make things a whole lot easier overall.
I love all the color in this quilt! I am using some vintage fabric I found at my mom's house. I think it is perfect to showcase the bits of scraps I sewed together into the sixteen patches. I am already thinking about how it will be quilted. Never to early to think about that! But first it needs to become a top!
