I have a little scrappy project in mind. It will use bright warm scraps and light cool solids. Here is my scrappy fabric pull.
I also thought it might be fun to show you how cut scraps on my Accuquilt Go cutter. For this project I’m using my 2 1/2″ half square triangle die.
First I press my scraps. I use a little Best Pressto give them a crisp feel.
Then I start layering them on the die. I don’t worry about them filling the whole die. I just want to get as many pieces as I can.
Then I layer
And layer until I have 6 layers in as many places as I can.
Next I run it through my Go. And out comes all these pretty little half square triangles, with all the dog ears cut off.
Here is the waste. Not bad. I figure I’d have just as much if I were to cut them the old fashioned way.
Finally I just play
and play
and play.
Just a little FYI if your planning on getting a Accuquilt Go, they will be $150 off on black Friday. Now that’s a deal!
that is how I cut them too when dealing with scraps
Great idea. I have that die but have never tried filling it with scrappy pieces. Hugs
That's a great idea and ready to sew at any moment.
What a fast and fun way to cut scraps!!
