DCSMLA 1000 Pyramids

Ebony Love is the queen of die cutting! She is hosting the first ever Die Cut Scrap Make Later Along! She has a series of posts with embedded videos demoing various dies and die cutting machines. The idea is that you choose your own die and cut up scraps for a 1000 Pyramids quilt to be made later.
I had planned to cut up some 30s repels for this but when I went looking, I came across some scraps of Dutch wax prints I had purchased in Amsterdam. A small quilt made of these would coordinate beautifully with the original quilt I made from these fabrics. I will show that later but first, here are the details of my cutting spree.
Here is the die I used.

And here is how I am storing them since this is a make later along.

And this is a sneak peak at what this will look like.

Cutting these pieces literally took 20 minutes including pressing time. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my studio cutter?
Thanks to Ebony for hosting this!
ETA: Here is a pic of my inspiration quilt. My triangles are cut from the scraps from this quilt. I made this after visiting Holland with Dutch wax prints purchased there.

Sorry for the bad pic but it is dreary here again today.

    So gorgeous! Now you make me want to buy that triangle die too! 🙂 I love your inspiration project and your new one. Those fabrics are simply luscious.
