However, it has remained in the back of my mind as something to do and after a little innocent browse on ebay, I was kicked into action when I came across a seller who does small squares of Cath Kidston fabric in patchwork packs. I love those designs. So i bought some (perhaps that was a bit impulsive, especially when i already have a lot of projects on the go - but maybe it was good for me)
two of the designs included. they are cut from Cath's Haberdashery fabric and it is nice to have a samp - le it would be good to use for summer dresses.
I bought three packs of these and knew that it wasn't really enough, but felt I didn't want to go over the top. it was enough to start the ball rolling though and i managed to find some scraps of fabrics (and cut up some old dresses) to make enough triangles.
trianglation - i did these by cutting 20cm squares into quarters
Late last night was not a god time to start to put them together - but i did have an attempt and this was quite a revealing process. I have a lot of different patterns and colours here so it makes it hard to know how best to arrange them. I thought that random might be good because patterns might naturally form, but i think now that it might just look too messy so I managed to draw a design which will form overlapping star shapes.
it doesn't look much, but it took a lot of my effort!
ARGH! who knows when i will commit to sewing my squares together, but I am pleased that i have made a start on this project.
yours, weighing up the options,

sorry i published this so many times. i was having layout issues! it is becoming a common problem it seems.
i have been gathering together bits for a quilt for a long time. i have a feeling it'll be a long time before i get round to starting it, but my sister has an AMAZING quilting pattern book which i am going to borrow. lovely stuff!
those florals are just beautiful!
can't wait to see how this progresses. keep us updated :)
