Easy Does It

Last week I finished the first of two quilts that I pieced while we were camping. This tumbler design is a cute one, quick and easy to sew! Bright blue and fresh green with white and gray make it perfect for baby or springtime décor.

For quilting, I used white thread to straight stitch around each color layer. Two serpentine lines of quilting on the borders finished it off nicely. I used the larger white and blue dot fabric for backing. Easy Does It finished out as a 37” x 50” rectangle.

Accuquilt dies used:
55015 Tumbler 3½”
55054 Strips 4½”
55017 Strips 2½” (binding)

Fabric Sale Follow Up: Well, I finished washing, measuring, folding, and sorting my latest fabric bonanza. Final count for this amazing purchase was 176 flour and sugar sacks and 170 yards of quilting fabric, plus 37 hand stitched vintage quilt blocks.

It's all entered into my inventory spreadsheet, with swatches on index cards filed by color in my master notebook. If I didn't have this system in place, I'd never be able to find anything! As it is, I'm running out of space and storage bins, so I need to get busy stitching.  I'm not sure what to sew first but I already have dozens of ideas.

Yes, I know I am

a fabric lunatic...

Lately I am compelled

to give unwanted fabric

a new home.
