Ongoing stuff!

Have you seen this new Quilt Along?
P2 Modern Solids Quilt Along

Well, I have and I've decided to work outside my box a little and play along.  I picked up 2 different color ways and figured I would just back one quilt top with the other in the end.  We'll see how that works.  This is very "mod" and not in my quilting portfillo - yet.  I've seen other "modern" style fabrics and designs that I'm curious to do, but haven't crack that egg yet to jump into!  So, I think this is the perfect way to "test" the waters out - sorta speak.

Here are my colors, purple and chartreuse and turquoise and chartreuse (I love the green of course - it was brighter than the lime):


I'm also using a lighter grey and the pepper black for the remaining 2 colors. 


I spent yesterday afternoon CUTTING!  I mean lots of cutting!  My feet hurt from standing and ironing and cutting.  Did I mention I did a lot of cutting yesterday?  This doesn't even show all of it...just a mess of things:
Well, all that means is now I have A LOT of sewing to do - at least I'll be ready!!
