It's funny what you find when you aren't looking...
This is a quilt top I started nearly 20 years ago...
back when (*shudder*) you had to hand cut out all your shapes...
I did sew them together with a sewing machine...and felt like I was cheating the whole time...
back then, I thought it really wasn't a quilt if your sewing was on a machine!
I think I will finish it this year for the back of my couch...
Seemed appropriate for fall...
Then I started this...
It also reminded me a little of Fall...and although I am not sure how this will end up,
I am excited to try some new stitching on it...
Next time, I will show you all the quilting I have been doing...
I have some finishes to show off!!!
what a great find! i can't imagine doing quilting without a rotary cutter! and love the new work - you have got quite a few things on the go!

I agree that rotary cutters have certainly made our life easier. I felt better when I found out that women started quilting with their sewing machines as soon as they were available for home use, although it wasn't the norm.
ReplyDeleteI can just see the "old" quilt top tea dyed. (I've been into overdying scraps this week!
It always amazes me how colors cycle back into popularity - just like the colors of your quilt top from 20 years ago. Beautiful!
