Sides

 I'm cutting the black on white side triangles for another Scrap Slab Triangle quilt or two. Here are some of the fabrics I have chosen.

I cut them into big strips first.

This scallop print is fun. It almost look like bald men wearing tiny spectacles. Or upside down chandeliers.

So I cut my side triangles, and stack them in this plastic bin. That way I can move them around easily.

My students were surprised when I told them that for the Snow Day quilt, I did not sew the side triangles on the blocks until I finished laying out the colored triangles. Then I placed the side triangles one at a time. I wanted the patterns to be evenly distributed and I didn't want too many darks together or too many lights together. I'll do that with the next quilt.
