Starting to cut.................


I started cutting a new project, most likely a baby quilt unless I have so much fun that I want to make it larger.

I showed a pile of pastel Kaffe collective fabric scraps a couple days ago.  Yesterday I pressed them and chose some corner fabrics and then had a cutting session.  I'm using the Bow Tie die but this quilt will be all light squares with a darker triangle corner.  I have seen this quilt on several blogs and liked it.


This is the whole selection I have cut so far.  I have one more triangle fabric to cut and may add a couple more if I can find some that have the same feel.

The rest of the day was a lot of thinking about new projects and doing laundry.

Fun, a new quilt! I like working with die cut pieces as they are easy to align.

Oh this looks really neat, Wanda--nice and colorful for baby's developing eyes;))))
11 degrees here this morning; snow predicted this evening--not much--maybe 1" or so-- but it'll surely be cold enough...
hugs, Julierose

I have the die for that one - I started to cut pieces once for it and then realized I was getting the color combo wrong and never went back to it - I wonder where I put those pieces?

And you just wrote about the number of quilts you have in the to-be-finished queue . . . but I know well that a new project can provide a burst of energy and inspiration.

Love that you can die cut this one -- I cut my version with a rotary cutter.

Your pastels make me feel like spring is on its way. Perfect fabrics for a baby quilt or not.

Bow tie blocks are one of my favorites. Love the fabric pull.

What cute fabrics for the bowtie pieces! Using up those precious scraps will make a cute quilt.
