276 squares cut out tonight

Holy cow, I love my new Olfa cutter!! Thanks to a 50% off sale at JoAnn's, I got a nice new rotary cutter that is just awesome. The rotating mat and template are Fiskar's and often used. I got a small cutter with it and honestly, it sucked. Barely cut through ONE piece of fabric. Tried my mom's Olfa and fell in love. Now I have my own!!

The project for the afternoon. Pink and green for a custom quilt. And the crazy patterns? That is something my mom helped me pick out and Eric and I decided to use for our own room. We'll see how big I can get it! 276 squares total. I haven't cut squares in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, my forearm and elbow (in which I have pins) are both very sore.

The layout of our quilt. Rather than a traditional over one, down one cascade, I tried something different since I have five fabrics. Over two, down one. I just think it breaks it up a bit better. I'm actually really pleased with it.

A closer look at the fabrics.

Fabulous place to get fabrics (and other things)

I often check out the actual pages my friends are liking on Facebook. When I saw a friend liked The Fabric Fairy, I knew this would be great!

All sorts of great fabrics and the ideas that started popping into my head. My brain is already filled with new ideas for quilts, bags and since Sammy lost his first tooth this afternoon, I'm thinking about Tooth Fairy pillows as well.

So, head on over to the new Fabric Fairy site!!!
