Starting another lap quilt

I really didn't need to start another project.  I still have way too many projects left undone.  And, yet, I started another project.  More lap quilts will be needed for next year's Winter Sports clinic.  I've been wanting to make a quilt using plaid fabrics, and this seemed like a good time to do it.

I decided to use the left over backing fabric from the patriotic wall hanging that I just finished for contrast.  Then, I started cutting into two old sheets that I had gotten to use as backing fabric, an old dress shirt, and a quarter of a yard of a plaid print.  I also decided to use the triangle Accu Quilt GO template. 

So far, I'm liking the result.  I took two strips of fabric at a time to run through the Accu Quilt GO.

Cutting the triangles

I love how even the triangles come.

Nicely cut triangles

And, by sewing each of the triangles together...

And pretty soon, I had a bunch of squares finished.

Finished squares

I have a few more to finish, and then I'll start sewing them together.  I'm liking the way that this is turning out.
