Possibilities

The July/August issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting has an awesome tutorial for Quick Triangle-Squares.  I don't normally splurge on pre-cut fabric, (like charm packs, jellyrolls, etc.) but I think I wanted to test the efficiency of the how-to with the ease of the charm pack.
(In all honesty, I fell in love with the prints at the fabric store. Leaving without the Oh Deer! fabric was not an option.)

Once I had all of my flying geese triangles I realized there are so many possibilities!

Last weekend I visited my parents and asked my mom to help me decide. I'm sticking with what I was originally inspired by: the traditional chevron/zig-zag design.  The chevrons are still easy to identify with so many prints.

I already have the back fabric; as soon as I finish a couple work projects this quilt will be done in no time!
