Playing and La Playa!

I was able to play a little with my Gypsy Kisses units!

I am coming along... I have it timed that I can make 2 every 15 minutes 

but that is without interruptions. 

I am really enjoying the process but I haven't decided if I will

make the large size that is in the Material Obsessions book or if

I will make a smaller version of the quilt. 

I guess I will play it by ear.

I have already decided that I like the alternate fabric and that I will plan to use it as my

background fabric so that the "kisses" will kind of just float.

I stumbled upon a plastic shoe box full of half square triangles...

It was the last thing to be moved from the old house and put away.

I am so excited to see these little cuties!

A few years ago I was making La Playa

by Minick and Simpson and I used this line of fabric.

I must have went crazy to have so many leftover HST's!

I remember after the body of the quilt was 

together and seeing all of these leftovers...

I had a little plan in my head stirring but that is where I left off.

My idea was to make little sail boats around the border of the quilt 

instead of the applique the pattern calls for.

(Imagine that)

So, how fun is it that I happen to be making  Sail Away... sail boats right now!

So I think I will just make a few more with these fabrics... and maybe a little tweaking of the 

pattern for a different look... and then I will have another UFO conquered!

Did you know that Fat Quarter Shop is having a sale???
