I got the rest of the rows put together and the borders added yesterday. I have the matching binding made and now need to find something for a back. It measures 62 by 78 so I need about 4 yards of something from my stash. I should be able to find something, if not I will put some smaller pieces together for back art. When I showed the finished flimsy to Johnny, his first response was Solo Cups. It does look like upside down solo cups, so I guess we have a name for this one. I really enjoyed putting this one together, it worked up so quickly. I have some tumblers left over, so that is a start on the next one. I used the Layer Cake Dresden Plate ruler from Missouri Star. I cut a 4.5 inch strip from fat quarters and got either 5 or 6 tumblers from each strip. There was very little waste this way and stacking several strips made the cutting go fast. They could be cut from charm squares but with a little more waste. I used the same neutral throughout and cut these the same way. Maybe I can get it quilted this week.
Happy Stitching,
Teresa
This looks really good Teresa. I like the name Solo Cups, they really do look like upside down cups! Thanks for explaining how you cut your tumblers. I'm off to the sewing room to cut a few and see if I can get them together!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you mentioned tumblers...I knew there was another name besides Solo cups LOL
ReplyDeleteSolo cuts is the perfect name. Love all that scrappy goodness!
