This post covers three holidays, Christmas, St. Patrick's Day and Fourth of July. Two round wedge toppers in Christmas fabrics were finished.
I have so much fun picking 5 fabrics that coordinate for these round wedge toppers. And they are pretty quick to whip up once that is done. I am just lucky to have a large fabric stash that works well together.
Onto the next holiday...Fourth of July. I let my Accuquilt dies do some of the work for me. Using dies # 4 and 5 from the 8 inch cube speeds up and adds the accuracy I want for making the flying geese units for the star. Easy peasy and accurate!
And the third holiday in this post is St. Patrick's Day shamrock table runner. Look at all the green scraps I used in the shamrocks. These two are for a local gal that ordered them a while back and was in no hurry. But I needed to get them off my plate when I had the chance. I was able to use the 3" strip die from Accuquilt for the outer borders on this one too. And of course the 2.25" strip die for the bindings! See how I like to speed up things:)
And speaking of Accuquilt did you know they have several live Facebook videos each week. If you sign up you have a chance to win dies from them. Sometimes they even give away a cutter or fabric too. On Tuesday October 5th they will be introducing a new die for a big upcoming holiday! You can register HERE.

You've been working on all the holidays, Vicki! Looks fun! Sounds like the Accuquilt really "cuts" down on the time it takes to prepare pieces for your projects.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have been busy! Your runners are so lovely I can see why you are always making more to replace the ones you sell. Thanks for sharing them with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteGreat pumpkins in the last post. And this Wedge quilt design is very interesting. Wonderful quilting!
ReplyDeleteSew cute!!! Love the checkered shamrocks!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your table runners. My next thing to make for my daughter is table runners for each month.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me how much I could be using my Go cutter & dies. I forget them, & could be speeding up the cutting so I could be sewing sooner.
ReplyDeleteI love my Accuquilt GO cutter. You are so right that it makes cutting quick and accurate. You always knock it out of the park with your table runners.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Well, well, well. This post has a good portion of the year represented here! Those round table toppers are cute but I'm really drawn to the r/w/b. I always have trouble making flying geese - another reason to get the AccuQuilt, I guess. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy seeing your projects! These won't stick around long!
