Enjoying my stash

I am the kind of quilter who likes to collect great fabric.  Then someday I use it.  Once in awhile I keep it too long and no longer love it, but that is a different story.  For years I collected fabrics that would be good for baby quilts.  I had absolutely no idea how those fabrics would be used.  Last week I went to my stash to find ingredients for a baby quilt.  My eyes settled on this delightful, funky plaid:

There was enough for the background of a quilt.  I decided to pull fabrics to match the colors in the plaid.  This is what I selected:

The red on the right was perfect because it had bits of pink that matched the pink on the left.  The yellow was good because it had a lot of variation, looking bright yellow in some places and orange in others.  I chose not to include a fabric the color of the deep blue in the plaid.  It seemed too bold for what I had in mind. 

The pattern was one I'd made many times so it went together quickly.  The block are set on point.  The quilt has setting triangles.  In the past I've cut all setting triangles from the same fabric.  This is the first time for using scrappy setting triangles.  This is the finished (unquilted) top:

It's a happy quilt!

I will cut bias binding strips from the plaid.  Today I hope to find the perfect back for it.  Can't wait to see it finished.
