Christmas afternoon while everyone was watching football I took it out to see if I could figure out how to use it.
One of the extra dies I ordered is the Apple Core so I decided to make a scrappy Christmas apple core quilt.
After all it was Christmas.
Well, the cutting was a lot of fun and I just kept cutting those apple cores until I ran out of scraps.
All I can say is thank goodness I ran out of scraps!
The cutting may be easy and fun but sewing all those curves are not.
I tried pinning them together and didn't like sewing over all those pins - so I got out my trusty Elmer's school glue and tried gluing them together at the ends and centers.
I quickly got tired of that and went back to the pins because I think it was quicker.
I now have this great apple core quilt which I really like.
I am going to do a curved binding since I like sewing curves so much..
Very pretty quilt. I have become addicted to the tumbler.glad Santa got ya what you asked for.have fun with the GO.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! Apple Core as at the top of my Go Cutter wish list until I found out there was a shape that will make kaleidoscope blocks. Now I'm not sure which I need more.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. Our local shop has purchased the big industrial cutter and will be cutting for customers. She wasn't sure if she was going to rent it or do the cutting themselves. I'd like to do a winding ways and a drunkards path quilt.
ReplyDeleteI am very tempted to get one....glad to see you like it. How long did it take to piece the quilt?
ReplyDeleteNancy, your apple core quilt is so pretty! Lots of nice Christmas fabrics. Glad you are enjoying the Go Cutter!
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Christmas Nancy! welcome to the GO CUTTER clan! I just purchased the apple core die, can't wait to try it! I decided to also try the Curve-master foot, so I'll report in about that as soon as I have had a play. I also have the Tumbler die and want to use up my vast collection of reproduction fabrics using that - I love just how quickly you can cut out a whole bunch of blocks ready to sew into a quilt top.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :-)

I love that pattern...great job!
ReplyDeleteI have a mini hand pieced apple core somewhere.
Nancy, love the apple core quilt. I can't believe how fast you can make a quilt. I think you have an addiction. Of course when it comes to quilting, that is a "GOOD THING" Gerry
ReplyDeleteI have that die too. I haven't used it yet, but am hoping to by the end of the month. I'm intimidated by the curves; I think that may be the reason I am dragging my feet. I wanted the GO to tame the scrap bin.
ReplyDeletei just imagine your patience...
