More quilt work

I've been going back and forth on what pattern to use with my quilt. My first idea is this:

My second idea, and the one I'm more inclined towards (for simplicity's sake) is this one:



I think that I should go with the zig-zag one because I've already started piecing strips together, and because I have fairly limited experience with piecing triangles. The other quilts I've worked on have either been all squares and strips, or free-form crazy quilting. I don't have pictures of the other quilts, but I can show you the crazy quilt:



My crazy quilt is very slow-going since it's very dependent on what cloth I can get. I lucked out and got a lot of gorgeous fabric remnants from the costume shop at school during my undergrad. The lovely costume ladies let me take anything that was too small for them to use. This is one of those projects that will probably take ten years to finish.

And in other news, look at what we grew for dinner!
