My how time flies when November first comes around!
I have been doing a lot of secret sewing~ Christmas gifties that I cannot reveal until January! And pattern tests, but in between all those projects I did have a little fun. ;-)
My friends and I got together for a weekend sew-in! But before we did, we each cut out 75 red tumblers using the Accuquilt 4½" die, 75 green tumblers and 30 gold tumblers. We were to cut from our stash.
Then when we got together we put everyone's reds in a bag and mixed them up and pulled out hand fulls! We did the same for the greens and golds and then made tops with our new bunches of tumblers! The amazing thing was that we didn't always get any of our own back but got 3 or 4 of someone else's depending on how hard the fabrics stuck together.
Four of us just went 'helter skelter' and didn't try to make any designs but one smart cookie arranged hers to make a modern tree top. :-)
Aren't they all fun?!!! I plan to border mine with a green fabric which will make it lap size. :-)
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

That is a FUN way to do a scrappy project and mix up everyone's fabrics. Great idea!
Those are beautiful and I do love the tree, very clever.
