I stole my own idea...

In Spring 2007, I bought an insane amount of April Cornell fabric.  It was a line of Moda fabric called the Sonnet Collections, and I kid you not, I must have bought at least two to three yards each of the ENTIRE collection.

From the blog: cinderberrystitches.typepad.com

And of course, I started cutting some half-square triangles, and then stuck them away for a REALLY long time. I refused to get rid of any of the fabric that I had bought to go with it, and this mess of April Cornell followed me around three different moves, in two different cities. Finally!, as of last week, I can say it's finished.  Note the teeny tiny size! 30" x 30". 

All the yards and yards of fabric I kept?  All donated to a good home! :) On Etsy for sale... here.

So...this pattern was inspiration for my B for Bicycle Quilt!  It's a little bit bigger than the above one...about 38" x 38" It too is for sale...here!  Pattern soon available. B is also for Button and Boat!

Voila!
