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.

90's 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!

Previous Projects:

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!

One of These Does Not Belong

I am pretty sure that you can tell which of the piecing does not belong.

I had a whole lotta cutting left to do for the Bonnie Hunter Silk Path project.

And as long as I was cutting anyway, I might as well make more of those 1990’s charms into half-square triangles. There are only 20 blocks so they will be a small project.

All of that cutting for Silk Path gave me plenty more piecing to do.

One of these days, I will have a flimsy.

A big one.

In the meantime, this project is moving forward.

Have fun and carry on!
