Ice Cream Soda Quilt - Update







I've had a little EPP frenzy this month and have managed to complete 8 Ice cream soda blocks.  It has been nice to have a little slow stitching time in the evenings.  A couple of months ago I succumbed and bought the acrylic templates for these blocks, and a mini rotary cutter.  Oh my goodness, it has made fabric cutting so much easier and quicker for them.

I have now completed 40 blossoms, I have another 32 to go, then all the filler pieces and half blossoms for the edges.  Jodi @ Tales of Cloth finished her Ice Cream Soda Quilt the other day, so this has inspired all of us lagging behind on our quilts.

Have a great week.

    Looking fabulous Julie! I love the little rotary cutter too! Do you own a rotating cutting mat? I’m considering putting one on my Christmas list. I think it would help cutting small shapes more quickly.

    Your blocks are looking so good! Your colour choices and fussy cutting spot on. It's always good to have the right tools for the job.

    So pretty. I would have bought them too, anything to help out the speed and you would easily use them for other things too afterwards. x

    Oh wow, they are beautiful Julie, I love the block at the top. Gorgeous fussy cutting all round. I just had a peek at Jodi's finished one - I can see how you are inspired to keep on with it!

    Pretty blocks - I love the stack on the cake stand! Yeah, that small rotary cutter sure is nice. I would be dying on the curves I'm working right now without one.
