Wow, Jaba, your fabrics are going to be fun! I love that white Christmas print. Can't wait to see what everybody does with your fabrics.
Aren't you relieved that the move is over? Now you can relax a little and get back to your machine.

Gary was going back to the town that has fabric, so I asked him to get me more, I am going to use it as the sashing for this boom quilt. (a pieced sashing)

OMG Kass, the dressie out of the zig zag is amazing! You are so talented. It just matches up perfectly. Wow!
Well ladies you know I was going to the fabric store to look for complimentary fabric for my boom floral. I did find two that needed to come home with me, I know you guys find that shocking! Both fabrics are repeat geometrics (another shocking fact, I'm sure). Anyway couldn't wait to get my trusty mirrors out and take a look, both have really nice possibilities, but one was really calling to me, here are the two fabrics, the one really is blue, even though it looks blackish.

So I just had to make a dressie out of that zig zag. I don't have it sewn to a background yet but here it is

When I finished cutting out the 24 wedges I had these biased edged almost 2 inches by 6 inches strips of "waste", that any sane normal person would have tossed. But they were repeats, so I lined them up and cut 60 degree triangles and am making these, they aren't all finished yet.

These aren't sewn together yet, they are constructed as half hexies.

Jaba - love your fabric choices and how cool you made a block with it.
Terri, very fun fabric!
I washed my fabric and I can’t believe how excited I am to press, cut, and put in the little baggies.
I’m working on that now. Fun!
