On the Edge of my comfort zone

As I mentioned in Monday’s post, I am working on several projects that are WAY out of my comfort zone.

This is the first!!

It started with this inspiration photo that I shared a few weeks ago…..

Often I have no intention of making a quilt from the inspiration, but this one got stuck in my brain!

Also on my mind was this box of hand-dyed strips…..

These came from my friend, Anita, after she had closed her dyed-fabric business. They were the bits left over from cutting fat-quarters and other sizes of fabrics.

I just couldn’t shake the “what would happen if” thoughts!!

So, with a few hours in my studio, I grabbed the box of fabrics and started piecing dark blue fabrics into strip sets…..

….that were a bit over 6.5-inches in deep and at least 8-inches wide.

I then used my Deb Tucker Ruler (Wedge Star)….

….and cut a triangle out of the center of the strip……

I took the two extra bits and evened up the straight edge…..

I was then able to sew two triangles together….

….ending up with another big triangle (this photo was before I trimmed it down with the ruler)……

So now I have TONS of strip-filled triangles…..

What can I do with them??

Come back tomorrow and let’s play!!
