Michael Miller BOM 2020




I stumbled onto a BOM from Michael Miller using the Accuquilt cutter and dies.  Delighted to fine this since I was a new beginner using the Accuquilt system of cutting fabric.  Teresa Down Under is also making videos using these instructions and I have found her information to be very helpful. 

Whenever I purchase a new device it takes me a few projects to begin feeling confident in making it a success.  This has been very true using the Accuquilt system.  I had to rethink everything I did in cutting and laying out fabric on the cutter.  Then I wanted to be as conservative as possible with my fabrics as we all know how expensive fabric is today.  There has been a learning curve. 

After I cut out my last project, I put all the scrapes aside.  Gradually I have gone through the scrapes and keeping every piece that can be used for other projects.  I find that I am looking at every scrape and contemplating how it can be used.  Circles are being considered for future projects.  Half square triangles will be used in a scrappy quilt, maybe.  Crumb quilts, my version, will definitely be considered.

https://blog.michaelmillerfabrics.com/ will have information regarding their BOM.

Here are the first five blocks of the BOM.  So glad to be making this quilt and learning so much information using the Accuquilt cutter and dies.
