I got my rotary cutter and mat ready and the fabrics pressed and neat for cutting. But I noticed that a couple of the sizes of cuts would work with Accuquilt dies that I have. So I pulled out my Accuquilt Cutter and those dies. Here are my stacks of fabric all ready to make into a quilt.
Those stacks are each labeled with the letter from the cutting instructions as well as the size and number cut. I am trying to be really organized for this quilt along so that I finish it in the appropriate time frame. This should also be a lesson to keep me on-track for other projects.
You may notice that the purple and aqua/teal fabrics are still wrapped on the cardboard mini-bolts. That is because I will pick which one to use and cut those strips (2 1/2") as I need them. It is likely that I will use them both. I also have jelly roll leftovers for the scrappy fabrics listed in the cutting - but I may choose to cut those from yardage as I go along also.
I have finished all of the blocks for my "Left Handed Sampler" quilt along quilt. My plan is to use adding the sashings and cornerstones as "fill-in" time between other projects. I am sure I will show some of those as it progresses.

You have such great order. I never wait until I've cut out all the pieces, and I always say to myself that next time.... Beautiful colours you've got.
ReplyDeleteLove your colors!! It's great that you have dies in the sizes you need - that saves a lot of time. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress - ;))
ReplyDeleteVery nice fabric selection. The Accuquilt Go cutter sure makes short work of prepping the fabrics, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing how you organize your projects.
ReplyDeleteI like the bright colorful fabric you are using for these.
ReplyDeleteAs always, unplanned yet methodical! I don’t know how that happens, Gene, but that’s what I feel from your quilt-making. Always one of a kind results, yet somehow pre-planned. It must be creativity at the highest level!
ReplyDeleteThese look great, Gene! I am so excited to see your units starting next week!
