I arrived home from my crazy work trip to Argentina (yesterday), took a nap (yesterday), slept in (today), and decided I was ready to tackle the latest QAL I joined – The Triangle Quilt Along that Paula over at The Sassy Quilter is hosting.
Today I starched and cut my triangles. I have 18 FQs and I got 12 triangles out of each FQ, so I currently have 216 triangles. Paula’s instructions call for 204 triangles. Here’s something you may not know about me….I suck at math. Last week I very nicely asked my husband to head back to the quilt shop and he got me a second set of FQs. If I cut them all, I will have 432. I’m actually considering it! But…I’ll see how I like the size of the 204-216 that I currently have cut. First things first, right?
Here are the first 216:
So far I’m still on target as far as deadlines go. Yay, Me!
Now time to go unpack the rest of my suitcases….I hate that part of traveling!

That didn’t take you long after getting back from Argentina to be back into quilting! Great work Julie!!
Cutting was quick. It’s the assembling the top that will take me some time.
Glad you’re home. Just got the Tues Morning flyer in the mail and they have Fat Quarters for 5.99! I’m gonna check them out tomorrow. Not sure why…..haven’t even done my first quilt. But when I do…..I’ll be prepared.
Miss you.

I love that you’re already building your stash! I think you & Abby need a Minnesota quilt retreat this summer!
Love your colors! Good for you for being on track. I’m behind on one of my BOM but hope to catch up this week. You do know that unpacking always comes after sewing! Keep up the good work.
I’m behind on my other 2 BOMs…1 out of 3 isn’t bad, right? 🙂
Unpacking is done! *whew!*
Wow that was quick. Maybe you could use the spares for a matching cushion?
Maybe. I’m pretty sure I’ll be making it bigger than Paula’s instructions call for, but I’ll definitely still have extra fabric. A cushion is a great idea!
I also cut 2-3 at a time, so that speeds things up considerably!
Hi!!!! I love your fabrics!!!! I am doing the Triangle Quilt Along too!!!! Will be so fun to see what everyone makes!!!!
Thank you! When I saw the FQs I HAD to have them. Then when I saw her QAL I knew they would be perfect. I too am excited to see what everyone else does!
These look fantastic! I am doing this one too and I love how many different colors/fabrics you are using!
Thank you, Alison! And thanks for stopping by to visit my blog.
Good for you for keeping up! It’s going to be beautiful!
I hope so! Thanks for stopping by!
SERIOUSLY digging your fabrics and that layout is looking fantabulous!!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by to say HI!
Do you starch after you’ve cut them all out? And do you have a fav spray?
I starched while I pressed, but not again after I cut them out, but I should have. I had picked up a can of Faultless from WalMart a while back, so I had it on hand.
Hi, just found your blog Via your Flickr posts on this QAL, your Colours JUMPED off the page for me, I think it is unanimous that we all absolutely love your fabric choices. The colours just sing to me and the prints. GORGEOUS. Can you tell us the name of the line please.
TIA. Cindy.
The fabric is called Metropia. Love it!
