Cutting Tumblers and Squares

I have spent a couple of pleasant rainy afternoons cutting, cutting, and cutting some more.

I cut lots of tumbler pieces from another stack of those ’90s charm squares.

I cut from all of the blues that I had left, so this project is going to be random scrappy.

I don’t know how many I have, so I don’t know what size, or even what it is, that I am making.

Placemats? Crib quilt?

I also cut out stacks of 15″ squares to be sewn into a backing for the Silk Path flimsy.

Why 15″, you ask?

That is the size of my largest square ruler.

As long as I was sorting through the neutral fabric chunks to cut large squares, I also cut remnants into useable sizes of strips and squares. You will have to trust me on this since I didn’t take a photo of these.

I feel so accomplished and organized!

I have a trip coming up soon, so the sewing will commence at a future date, but these projects will be ready when I am.

Have fun and carry on!

As long as I was cutting for Silk Path, I cut enough of the those charm squares from the 90’s to make 20 half-square triangles (HRTs).

I’ve had these 20 HRTs on the design board and arranged every which way.

After sewing, I realized that I had used this star in the previous 90s charm square quilt. I guess I like it! Ha, ha!

This little quilt is about 19″ square.

Fun to bust out a quick little project and use up these oldie, but goodie charm squares!

This finished project is headed for the gift box.

Silk Path is a Flimsy!

I started this Bonnie Hunter design in January 2025.

And it isn’t finished yet, but at least it is a flimsy and has advanced to the marinating closet!

It measures about 86″ square. That will change after quilting, squaring up, and washing.

Have fun and carry on!
