I finally made a video!



I've written before about how quickly the Go! cutter can turn a couple of thrifted cotton sheets into pieces for a two color quilt, and now I've made a video to show you how it works. Tear the sheets into strips, run them through the cutter, and you're ready to start piecing a quilt.

If you've read my blog before, you can probably tell that that's not my sewing room in the video. It's my mother's. She was nice enough to let me use her room (and her sewing machine) and hold my camera. And my father was nice enough to keep the boys downstairs with him.

  1. Wow! I've always liked that pattern because of its simplicity, but never knew how easy it would be to create. Thanks for explaining it so well!

    I cannot watch videos due to very slow download speed. Do you have any instructions, even basic ones? I love this pattern, but I don't even know what it called to look it up!
    Thanks!

  8. Which dies did you use for the Two Color Quilt? I had a bit of trouble understanding that information in the video. Thanks. Susan
