An unintended quilt project

About a month ago, during one of the extended weekends, I decided to set up the Big Shot Pro (BSP) which I had taken delivery of from Zarina’s son, Ewan. He was kind enough to bring it over all the way from Penang for me. Thanks, Ewan!

Even though I had taken delivery of it for almost a month already, but since my craft room was still very much disorganised, I could not set up the BSP up eventhough I was eager to play with it *grin*, until about a month ago.

As soon as I had set up the BSP, I decided to give it a test drive by cutting up some shapes using one of the dies I had bought together with the BSP which I had ordered from Lina, Zarina’s daughter who had just finished her studies in the US.

I tried out the apple core die, and before I knew it, I was cutting more and more apple cores! LOL!

So, what do I do with all the apple cores? Well, obviously, I had to put them together, right? LOL!

By coincidence, the apple core test pieces I cut were all in shades of reds, and so, I decided that this unintended project will be in shades of reds. So I went about going through my stash to look for whatever reds I have, and I ended up with quite a few meters and fat quarters of reds.

I spent the following weekend cutting up more apple cores and 2 weekends ago, I decided to put them together to see how it would look.

So far, this is my progress....

I don’t think I have enough reds to make a single size quilt for now, but I will just keep on adding whatever reds I have in my stash for now (this is a good excuse to use up all those stash I have!), and when the time comes for me to get more reds to make it big enough for a single size quilt (I got a reason to buy more stash! LOL! *wink*), only then will I visit Yee’s, Kelvin or Quilt Gallery.

It’s dangerous for me to visit any of this stores now as I just might spend more than I intend to, just like this project – an unintended project! Heheheh....

So, watch out for more progress on this project. 
