I haven’t had a lot of time to sew in the last few days … but I’ve done a bit!
Design Wall
Quilting
The March Island Batik project is sandwiched! The theme for this month is “Vintage Reimagined.” It is a fun theme to work with! I used these fabrics on the right!!! Oh – what a joy it is to use this beautiful fabric!!! I’ll show you more when it’s quilted.
Piecing
- Border #1 is on.
- Border #2 (purple triangles) is in progress.
- Border # 3 is ready to sew on
- Border #4 is being pieced together.
The first sewing clue is coming out today! It’s an easy one: 4 patches.
I used my AccuQuilt cutter to make quick work of the 4 patches! See the little slide show below with how it works!
And, I’ve heard a lot of “rumbling” about how the AccuQuilt wastes a lot of fabric! It’s not true! I had very little waste from cutting the 4 patches.
Stash Report
Saw this on Facebook …
And the comment was “Don’t suffer from fabric regret, buy as much as you can!!!
And I laughed!
This doesn’t apply when you’re trying to use up your stash!!!

I love your accuquilt example. It can waste a lot of fabric if you aren’t careful. You definitely show how to do it! I love what I have used so far and can’t wait to work with it more.

Hi Kathleen,
Thank you!
So far, I am enjoying using the AccuQuilt! And being careful, I find I don’t waste any more fabric than if I cut it with rulers!
Happy Quilting! 🙂

Hi Roseanne,
Using the Accuquilt was a lot faster than I thought it would be! The more I use it, the more I like it!
Happy Quilting! 🙂
