Well this is it so far......

This is my quilt top, pieced. I'm not sure whether to make it bigger or not. It's currently 45" x 54". Now that I've seen that measurement written down, I'm almost certain I will make it bigger, possibly 54" square. It looks as though the seams are a bit wonky but it's just the way the quilt is lying, honest! However, I notice that some of the squares aren't cut straight, which is entirely my fault. Back to the drawing board.....

Now what to back it with? Should I use a fabric from the same fabric line or should I use bleached muslin? Decisions, decisions.....

Merry Christmas everyone!

My Accucut was my Christmas gift to myself and I opened it all this morning and Ive just had a chance to play with it! It's very accurate, which is good but I can't really say that it's quicker..... I've used the 5" square die as I want to do a charm quilt. I had to cut the fabric into 6" strips before I could put it through the machine so in my opinion, not really a lot quicker. But if anyone out there disagrees with me please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

Having said that though, I cut out 336 squares in about 30 minutes!

This is the tumbler quilt top all pieced together. Now I don't know how I'm going to quilt it as it won't go in my sewing machine. I do hope it won't sit in my sewing room for months before I can get it quilted.

My latest work in progress

This was a quilt kit bought from SFO quilter on etsy. The fabric is Heather Bailey's Fresh Cut line and there are 160 tumbler shapes in the kit. The top is almost pieced but I haven't bought the backing fabric yet. It's going to be around 88 x 66 inches - quite big! I'm dreading the quilting though, very difficult to quilt such a big quilt on my Brother sewing machine!
