For this step of the quilt along, we're cutting our fabrics.  

Here are my cut fabrics, over 300 triangles in black and white along and an ombre rainbow.  I cut them with my Super Sidekick template.  I haven't cut triangles since I made a GRAVITY quilt in 2015, and I really enjoyed cutting them.  The ombre fabrics weren't wide enough to cut the triangles the size indicated in the Seeing Spots pattern, so the triangles are cut smaller and will result in a smaller quilt. 

My pattern choice - Seeing Spots from Splash of Color.

Oh but wait, I've decided to make two black and white with a Splash quilts since I had some black and white fat quarters left after cutting the first quilt!  This one will be black and white with a splash of TEAL.  Pretend that's teal in the picture!  I cut the green grunge, but when we compared the EQ7 mockups of green and teal, my daughter and I decided the teal grunge is better.

The pattern for these fabrics is my very own Granny's Square Patch pattern!  This pattern includes 6 sizes from baby to king and uses strip piecing.  I'm making the small lap size.

If you need black and white fabrics, Fat Quarter Shop has a bounty of black and white FQ bundles, black and white yardage, batting and backing.

One random entrant in the linkup below will receive a PDF quilt pattern from Busy Hands Patterns.

Spread the word, share on your blogs and social media!
