Quilting in Progress: Constellation

I liked giant half square triangles and the shot cottons I found at the fabric and craft store so much that I'm sewing another VAST quilt.  You can see more of the line of indigo fabrics I bought on the last day of this sale.  

I plotted and planned out as best I could using modern solids in the traditional block called Constellation.

I got on my hands and knees to pin all the blocks below to sew together.  Last night I already stitched the equivalent of two indigo half square triangles....fourteen more half square triangle blocks to go.  I just bought myself a fabulous picnic knife, and this quilt will probably be the throw blanket on which to dine on bread and cheese and fruit on the beach.
