Windy Mills Cutting

I'm cutting out a new quilt for my Etsy shop.  This one will feature a Windmill looking block, so I'm tentatively calling it Windy Mills, but the name could change.

I'm using fabric from Guicy Guice's new collection, plus some coordinates from my stash.  Isn't this one groovy?

All the pieces for this quilt are being cut with my Accuquilt Go and 8" Qube Set.

This is a hand-dyed fabric from my stash.  Super pretty.  I love the way the colors flow together.

 This fabric also came out of my stash.  Here you can see it cut into strips, prepping to run it through the Accuquilt Go die cutter.  I'm excited to see how this quilt progresses. Scrappy stash busters are always fun as every block is a surprise.  What are you creating today?  Leave me a comment below.

Front Porch Sittin' ~ Part Two

Front Porch Sittin', part two.  I cut the blue and purple fabrics from the Island Batik Urbanization collection by Kathy Engle into strips of varying widths.

I then sewed the strips together into sections, using the values to create areas of light and darkness.

Two sections of strips, up on my design wall.  There will be one more section that goes at the top of the quilt.


After I completed sewing the strips together, I arranged the fusible flowers that I cut in Front Porch Sittin' ~ Part One over the strip background, fused them in place, and secured the edges with a small zigzag stitch in matching Aurifil threads.  Next up ~ Thread Painting/Quilting.  We're getting close to the final reveal.
