Does the quilt idea come first.....or does the fabric?

What does come first?   Probably like most of you, it goes both ways.  Often times I gather fabric that plays together and then allow the fabric to pick the game.  That's the case in this quilt anyway. 

I was given a few vintage feed sacks last year and was about to pass them on (what was I thinking) when I came to my senses and started pulling some fabrics from my stash that went well with the vintage feel of the feed sacks.  Preview picture No. 1.

 

Rearranged to get another fabric preview:  I'm good with this collection....now to cut and sew.

I just randomly selected fabric combinations to complete a bunch of little triangle blocks.  There's no real rhyme nor reason to the combinations...except that they didn't fight with each other. 

And then the real playground fun began - sewing all those triangle blocks together - to the finish line.  It's very vintage yet still has a fresh, modern feel.  Quilted by Hannah Marie Lee in Choudrant, Louisiana.  Smile.
