Quilting Time

It's time to start that quilt I've been thinking about for the past several months. This one is for my bedroom which needs a little injection of color if you ask me. I'm picturing a quilt with a lot of negative white space and a few splashes of the colors you see in that bird print: yellow, blue, green and coral.

I have at least one more trip to the fabric store ahead, but I've decided to go ahead and start cutting hexagon pieces a few at a time. 

This is going to be a large quilt made up of a lot of hexagons. Definitely wouldn't want to tackle this project with out a rotary cutter and hexagon ruler. The see-through ruler is especially useful for doing fussy cuts. 

I'm still working out the pattern and I'll probably change my mind a few more times before I start sewing, but I'm so excited to see how this cheerful patchwork of colors will brighten up the bedroom.
