Quilt Prep

While watching DVDs I cut lots of fabric.
First off I cut fabric to make this quilt
from this book
to use up the 9 patches I got in a swap from last year.  I adapted it slightly - my version will have 9 patches all round with no extra strips as the border.  My 9 patches are bigger than the ones in the book so I adjusted the sizes of the pinwheel triangles accordingly.  Here is the fabric all cut and ready to sew -
Then, as I already had my repro fabrics out, I thought I may as well do the cutting for another quilt.  This is the one I decided on
and here's the fabric ready to sew
The drawer started all messy and chockers.  Now it looks nice and empty (kind of) -
