After getting the borders finished onto an older project this morning, I couldn't resist making this little bassinet quilt top using all new-to-me fabrics except the fish. The tumblers were cut with an Accuquilt die which Craig hacked to fit my Sizzix machine. That made this project seriously fast.
There's so much potential in this simple layout. Knocking off a column or two would make a great welcome mat. Extend that a bit and it would be fun as a table runner (not that we own a table yet... we still don't =)
It's small, but it packs a punch.
Oooooh, pretty colours, Amy! I love that you used a hacked die. :-)
ReplyDeleteit sure does pack a punch...love it!
ReplyDeleteIs this some of the fabric from JimmyBeans? Looks delightful!
ReplyDeleteBEautiful! Love the colors! I receieved the tumbler die for Christmas, but need to cut it down for my bigshot also--can you tell me how you did it? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim. This is something that I'd recommend or can write a tutorial for because it is quite dangerous to deal with sharp dies and voids the warranty on your machine and your dies. My husband did mine and I didn't see what tool he used, though I do remember there was a tutorial for it posted about two years ago. It might be worth googling?
DeleteLove, love, love it! I totally lack color confidence and would never have thought pink and yellow would create such a charming little quilt. Thanks so much for posting. Love the tumblers as well.
