Due to the storm that hit the Eastern seaboard today, I got to stay home. Yay! Snow day, sew day. What to do with such a landfall of time?
Today I spent some time getting to know my Accuquilt Go! When I decided I wanted this die-cutter, I knew I wanted the die for the
tumbler. This is the larger of the two dies, there is a smaller die
for tumblers. I know some people complain about the waste that is
created with the die-cutters, but to that I say you just need to use
those scraps. After cutting my tumblers, I stitched the scraps together
until I could cut another. I repeated this process until I had bits
too small to work into a single piece.
Overall, I love the effect this has given the quilt. I couldn't find a backing in my stash that I really wanted to use with this quilt, so it will go on a shelf until I can find something appropriate. Since I'm on a fabric diet, this quilt could be waiting for a while.
What a clever use of your scraps! And then you still get to play with your cutter more! Bonus all the way around. Enjoy you sew day! We have the coldest temps today here... It is -30 Celsius or -22 Fahrenheit.
ReplyDeleteCool. It looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you used up your scraps and I need to add both of those dies to my collection! Thanks for sharing.
