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!

Nice job putting those old fabrics to work into something. Did you use a rotating mat when you cut those tumbler blocks? (I’ve always avoided them because the cutting looks tedious).

I don’t own a rotating mat. However, I can easily turn the grey mat that you see in the photo. Since I cut the tumblers from charm squares, they were simple to handle. It really didn’t take very long at all. 😉

Love those daisy prints! Are you using a tumbler ruler to cut those? I like how the tumblers are turning into squares. Happy travels!

Diann, I used the Easy Dresden ruler by Darlene Zimmerman from EZ Quilting. I just picked a random size and cut. Easy peasy! 😁

Once I made a tumbler quilt from a stack of pieces someone cut and kitted for the Guild charity. I never had a quilt go together so easy.
