I know...you think this looks like a small mess...


I guess this does look like a small mess....just some fabrics tossed around and needing to be put away, but.....this actually is fabric that has been pulled from my stash and is waiting in line to be cut on my AccuQuilt GO! cutter that should arrive here tomorrow!!! The fabric piles to the left and right are fabrics that will probably be cut with the tumbler die for making a couple of small tumbler quilts. The fabrics in the box (and there are over 40 florals in there) are going to be cut into charm squares. I have wanted to do a good-sized floral charm square quilt for quite awhile and have been collecting fabrics for that......and my 5" die will help me tremendously with that. For now, though, I'm just counting the hours until that UPS truck arrives tomorrow!!! OH...and here is news since I last posted here...in case you didn't know yet, my blogging friend, Tonya, was the lucky winner of a GO! cutter on Friday during AccuQuilt's trivia day on their Facebook page, so Tonya will be looking out for that UPS truck later this week by HER house!!! Congratulations to her!!!!!

I love the blues and greens for your tumbler quilt. I just HAVE to get the tumbler die.
Looks like you will have a nice floral charm quilt too.

Pat, looks like you are all set up to have some fun. Just enjoy your new toy. I have seen so many tumbler quilts on blogs lately, that I just may decide to make one myself. (grin) Only mine will be cut out with templates or my rotary cutter. It will still work. Have a wonderful Sunday. Winona

Very pretty fabrics! Enjoy the go cutter! I borrow my MIL for now. :) I cut some tumbler blocks, just remeber to cut in the same direction on the grain because they strech different if you don't. Ask me how I know! :)

I hope the UPS truck stops by your house first thing tomorrow!

I'm glad I'm friends with people who have actually won a GO! cutter. Otherwise I'd just think they were blowing smoke. Congrats on the win and I look forward to your cutting progress, you will be posting about it right?
