Its a sad day in my creative world

This afternoon I cleaned out my sewing room. Nothing left in it but a couch and an empty desk and possibly the stray needle, just waiting to get someone. We are getting a roommate today and his room is going to be the sewing room. I was a little appalled at the amount of stuff I had in there. I knew I had it all, I just didn't know (or chose to ignore) how much all actually was. I am going to be set up some place else to sew but right now everything is in boxes and all over the house. Not sure how long it is going to be before I feel motivated enough to find all my stuff and start sewing again.  We have a really fun attic space with a nice little window and stuff that I think I am going to use, but it will require a lot of moving stuff around and cleaning. Eventually my desire to sew will outweigh my laziness, I just don't know how long that is going to take. All that being said, it may take me longer than usual to post stuff. Our house is coming together really fast now, so maybe I will start posting stuff about that.
Until then...

My " I made this up all by my self" quilt. I think that is what I will name it if I ever publish the pattern

These are some pictures of the quilt I have been working on. I started With these small blocks and got just about the size of a crib quilt and gave up on this design. A large king size quilt is just to big for it to be entirely 2 1/2 squares. You can't tell, but each square is that small.


                                      

I then started to add on. I added the red strip around the little squares above, and then added a new square (below) but, because I didn't read the directions it was way to big. It should be square but some of the pieces for this black have already been scavenged for other stuff, so its huge. I may use this piece as is at some point, but we will see. 
These are the fabrics I'm using. I love them so much


This is the newest add on. Im going to do the triangles all the way around and then move on. What I have so far has come from many hours of pain and torture trying to figure out what to do and what I'm doing wrong. 


This is how it will look when the triangles are added onto the rest of the quilt. 

As I add pieces on, I will post more pictures. 
Until then 
bye
