For our Guild meeting next month (Triangle Modern Quilt Guild), I signed up to participate in a 18″ x 18″ pillow swap.  I saw this as the perfect opportunity to try my new book purchase “Pillow Pop” out.

I decided I wanted to use blue and green as more the solid prints and mix them in with low-volume prints. I have chosen from the book to do the “Crystallized” Pattern by Angela Mitchell, it uses 100 HST (Half – Square Triangles).

I spend the evening last night in front of the TV cutting all the 3″ x 3″ squares I will need. Here’s a peek.

The stack of Fabrics I used (now I have a great scraps pile too 🙂 ) + the 100 squares:
