… to show you all this:
Not only is the top finished, but it’s sandwiched with the batting and the backing and is ready to quilt! Woo hoo! I think we all know what I’ll be doing today! 
But that’s not all I did yesterday. I also cut out at least 225 tumblers for retreat.
Other than the neutral, all the fabric came from my stash. I cut mostly by colors, since that’s the way I pulled the fabrics … so I will want to take a little time before I leave for retreat to mix the tumblers so I’ll have the colors evenly distributed. I have no idea how big I want my quilt to finish … right now, I’m guessing that I have enough for a small wall hanging – 37.5”x37.5”. I’m thinking that I’d like to make it a little bigger, so I left my Accuquilt Go out so I can cut more fabrics. We’ll see whether I get the tumbler top completed at retreat since I also have my signature blocks, my pineapple blocks, and my Martha Washington’s Flower Garden to work on. I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy ... have a great day!

ReplyDeleteGreat job getting those borders on. Speed and accuracy is definitely an advantage of having an Accuquilt Go. A wonderful start on a new project.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous, I have been too busy to put in many stitches the last two weeks. What size are your tumblers they look so cute stacked in piles of light and dark!
ReplyDeleteJust came up from the sewing room; it's so cold that all I want to do is stay inside.
