I cut a lot of 6" finished half square triangles yesterday. I have had the pile of pink and blue fabrics sitting on a cutting table for more than 6 months. The greens were leftovers from another quilt and were already pressed.
I cut 10 layers at a time with my Accuquilt Studio die cutter so the piles of 10 were layered with many different fabrics. It took 1 1/2 hours to sort them while I watched TV last night. All are Kaffe collective except for one Tula Pink.
Here is the variety of greens. I have some more to cut today.
Here are two of the inspiration quilts for my projects. I'm not using all of the same fabrics as were used in the books.
Here are the two books those quilts are in.
This is the first pink/blue quilt of Kaffe's that I saw back in the 1990s. It is in his Glorious Patchwork book and is made of lots of florals....not his fabrics because he had only designed the yarn dyed woven stripes when this book was written.
Look at what I found when I was watering my plants on Saturday. It was on the side facing the window and I hadn't even seen the bud growing.
Sneaky flowering cactus!

52 here this morning in dense fog--and yup--another gray day!! I'll be walking on our treadmill for sure...
I hope to sew the border squares on my Flowering Snowball today--long stretches of squares to match up..;000 I do pin on these...

So you're getting ready to launch into two new projects. What fun. I especially love the green assortment.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are cutting for this project - you've mentioned wanting to make one of these for a long time. I'm hoping to get my version sewn into a top this week (in between a lot of other things).
ReplyDeleteHooray for that pink blossom!
still getting flowers and it is so pretty. Have fun arranging all those colorful pieces
ReplyDeleteOne of the fun things about stacking and cutting multiples is that you as you sort them you find new combinations.
ReplyDeleteWhat grand array of cut triangles and whats ahead with your inspiration books. Oh the ideas that must be spinning with excitement in your head. 🤗

What yummy and cheerful fabrics you're playing with now and I love the quilts pictured in the books. HSTs are just so glorious because of the bazillion ways they can be put together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty surprise bloom!
Hugs!
