Giving Lots of Attention ...

... to my rotary cutter. 

Not a lot of sewing but Hippy Ya Hey! I'm having fun playing with fabric. Mostly flannel. In every colours I have. 

What am I going to do with all these freshly harvested pieces? 

(This is a nice image of whom I call my Super Seam Ripper btw.)

For one, I need to finish this crumb block quilt. 

I did a few more crumb blocks, 

all the while, I had a nagging feeling that the crumb part was done. Sure enough! I found the crumb blocks, chilling on the shelf, waving at me while I search every drawers!  Well, I now have too many blocks done. Care to guest what will be part of the backing? 

That's what I love about making quilts. It's like homemade cookies. It never goes to waste. 

I needed a break from all this cutting and looked at blogs. I visited Marly's Quilts page. She has a new project and Oh! My! Gallbladder is full! This is an easy and quick quilt to make with my flannel. 

Armed with a new blade in my rotary cutter, I took off, head first, into the jungle of flannel and  ...

... it's fun!!! This corona-coaster is really doing a number on me because cutting is my least favourite thing about quilt making. 

You wouldn't say that seeing this, now would you? The plastic bag on the right is full of little pieces for more crumb blocks for a one-day-I-will-make kind of project. 

Of course, it didn't just disappeared. It is piling up somewhere else but it's in neat piles. I'm so happy! 

Lots of bigger pieces, big enough to be folded. Some long pieces that are wide enough to become a scrappy binding so I am leaving them like that. 

Then, there's this. I am only catching up with the bigger pieces as I forgot to cut those sizes at the beginning. If I were to put the 2.5 X 4.5 pieces in one pile it would be over 4.5" high.  Maybe I'm cutting for two quilts? Haha! 

I took another break from cutting and got these done. 

Split 9-Patch for placemats. Only half of one placemat is made. Not even assembled. At that speed, we might have new placemats for Christmas. 

This is what Marly made me do, lol. (kidding) Don't expect too many like this one as all these pieces were given to me. I don't buy pink flannel for good reasons. The layout will have to be different from what Scrap Snap shows. Something will come to me eventually. Right now, I'm enjoying the fact that the flannel is being used. 

Have a great one.
