Alex’s Quilt

This is the story of many hands that made a quilt for one special baby boy.

The eco-conscious (and frugal) person that I am, I didn’t want to have people just cutting fabric for the sake of cutting fabric when I demonstrated the Big Shot at Sew Fest West 2010. Since I felt hands-on experience with the Big Shot was important for everyone who visited my booth, I got everyone to cut a few squares for Baby Alex’s quilt while they tried out the Big Shot. At the start of SewFest West 2010 I had hoped to make a dent in the cutting required for the quilt.  Well the SewFest West 2010 ladies were awesome and we cut the fabric for the quilt, a few squares at a time before the end of the second day! When we went home the only thing we had to do was just sew. Mom spent some quality time with her sewing machine and here’s the result of all your cutting efforts.

No more clipping is required when you use the Scallop Square die to cut your rag quilt squares. Here’s what it looks like after one wash!
