Crayons and triangles = Crangles???

Have you ever made 2 quilts at once? I don't mean have several WIPs (Work in Progress) I mean sew 2 at the same time? That's exactly what I am doing. Here's how...

You know when you use a thread saver, startee/stoppee, sew on/sew off or whatever you call it (the little piece of fabric you sew onto before you remove the fabric from your machine)? Well I decided that instead of using that little piece of fabric over and over that I would use that thread and time to work on a different quilt. So instead of those little pieces of fabric I am sewing another triangle onto my 'Crangle' quilt. (this is a great way to work on a tumbler, triangle or scrap vomit quilt too). I am using 2.5" triangles, 2816 to be exact. And that's where I need your help.

I would like to do this quilt totally in fabric by Me and My Sister Designs. I have always loved their bright fabric. I have a bunch and will be buying a bunch of Amelia, but I want more diversity. As you can probably guess 2816 triangles is a ton. So if you have any scraps that you would like to share please let me know. Any size pieces over 3" square will work. Just leave me a comment or find me on twitter and I'll send you my info.

Quilt in a Day

This Saturday I am taking a 'Quilt in a Day' class at The Berry Patch in Fort Worth. Here's the quilt I will be making.

So I got to go on a little shopping spree at the LQS's near me. Among other things I got this fabric for this quilt. The pic on the left shows the star fabric (the bottom blue), the large diamond fabric (the brown) and the small diamonds (the light fabric). The pic on the right is the border material. The background is white. What do you think?

I also got more goodies. I am making a crayon quilt with triangles out of any fabric from Me and My Sister designs so I added to that stash a bit. I got more black and white fabric for the Civil War Block of the month club and the green fabric I need for the Swap a Rainbow Part 2. All in all a very productive and fun morning. 

I'd love to see your new goodies!
