Laying out the Catnap Quilt

Lately I've been very busy working on things that are, as of yet, unbloggable, but I'm trying this new thing where I take at least one day off during the weekend to work on something totally unrelated to business. Over the past two weekends I've started working on my Catnap Quilt!

I ordered a full set of fat quarters of Lizzy House's Catnap fabric line and cut each into 6 triangles using a scaled down version of this tutorial by Fancy Tiger Crafts. I LOVE how each of their quilts turned out and figured that since I have a similar color scheme I'd be in good hands.

As you can see, I had a LOT of help with laying out this quilt. It took me an entire day to lay out the triangles so that they looked random but without too many color or print pools. It was way more work than I had imagined it would be but I'm happy with the layout I finally came up with.

This past weekend I spent a chunk of Saturday assembling my quilt. I got about half way done and I'm hoping to finish assembling the quilt top next weekend if I have time. I can't wait to have this quilt replace my worn out couch blanket, especially since the sun is now beaming down onto the couch in the late afternoons begging for a little sun break! I haven't decided how on my backing or how I'll be quilting it yet but I figure I still have time for that. Are any of you working on quilts right now? They're kind of a fun change from garment sewing all the time!
