A little cutting time......
While waiting for the laundry to be finished I snuck in a little cutting time. This die cuts 10 equilateral triangles at one time.
It was hard to see all of the cutting lines in that first photo so I spread them out.
I ordered a couple quarter yard packs of the quilting weight Liberty of London prints to go with some of the larger yardage pieces that I found on sale. Now I see that Glorious Color has all of them on sale. This is the group I am cutting with the above die and I'm adding solid black into the mix. I will continue cutting them in spare moments over the next few days and hopefully try some layouts on a design wall by the end of the week.

What an amazing cutter! :-)
Love that die! Can't wait to see what you will do with all the triangles.
You are certainly getting your money's worth out of that cutter... and I'm enjoying watching all the fun!
:)
I Love your stack of fabrics you have in mind for the triangle shapes. It should make a very dramatic quilt when they are set off by black.
Ugh! That's awesome!
Oh now this is even MORE fun!!!
That is a great die. Have fun with those fun fabrics.
amazing! how fast you get it done. I will be looking forward to seeing what you make from these.

Now THAT's the way to cut! And what gorgeous fabrics, even "in profile".
That cutter is looking very attractive to me. I'll have to think about whether or not I need one. Thanks for the link to glorious color - now I know where I can buy Kaffe fabrics on demand! And spend my whole savings on it... LOL
That is gonna be super fast cutting.
OMG - I need that die cutter if only for the equilateral triangles. No matter how careful I try to be when lining up my ruler, my triangles are NOT consistent.
I must break out my Go Baby! and see what I can come up with! ;-)
Loooking forward to what you do with all those equilateral triangles.
I'm so excited to see what your are doing on this newest project!! I have that die too :o) Still cutting diamonds still. Amie in tn.
A cutter would be so worth it for equilateral triangles! I've got a stack of voiles with those in mind.
And another quilt is in the making. I am so jealous of your cutter. Wow, in a flash you have a bunch cut and all perfect size. Today with the rain it is a good day to be quilting.
