Put your foot down #43
What’s under my foot
Monday I shared the first half of my Island Batik March Challenge (see post here) and I am adding a small 2 color quilt to the finish. 9 more blocks cut out using the 10″ finished Chimney Sweep BOB die from AccuQuilt.
In Monday’s post I shared it took roughly 7 hours to cut and pieced the blocks and sashing. This time I didn’t keep track of my time but I know it was less than 7 hours. Before it would have taken me 7 hours just to cut the fabric for these blocks.
Stack of blocks, no squaring up needed. The green is the last little bit of fabric left from the Island Batik Quiet Shades Collections I received. This is one collection I wish I had bolts of. see disclosure The background is IB Moo Milk, one of their neutral foundations. See the green swirls?

You do a wonderful job with using batiks. And the Accuquilt sure makes the cutting process a breeze.
So true. It saves time and speeds piecing.
Hi Denise! I love your block using the IB fabrics. They look gorgeous and I can’t wait to see the whole finished piece together. It’ll be spectacular. ~smile~ Roseanne
