well....this is what I did while it was baking last night..
I am sorry, I just can't help myself......you all know that I am weak!!
So many of you had questions and maybe this will help clear up some as well.
What you see here is the tumblers die...see how I marked it? Also....this is something I figured out...see the long piece of material that I pulled through the other side....this way, there is no cutting of fabrics (except for the loose strands after cutting)...so I just slip the extra piece of fabric under the roller....
I place the fabric as close to the cut out...
Now rolling it through... Notice that I have the die as far over as possible, this is to allow room for the fabric I am not cutting.
It has come out the other side...so I flip the material(the widest part) over to match the widest part of the tumbler...I pull the excess material through to the other side...and oh yes, there is a little space to do this...so I move my die as far over as possible to allow the excess fabric to fit nicely without bunching, as I mentioned before.
Here is the left over scraps..... I would like to mention that salvage is in there as well...I did not cut it off before I started.
I got 8 squares
36 tumblers out of a yard of fabric...
I think I am going to go and make muffins now!!
Well....I was able to cut out all the tumblers before company came.....and this is the end results after they left. Still needs borders...but hey....not to shabby for an evenings work.

What fun you are having! I'm envious. LOL,
The best thing Accua quilt did was send you the machine. You are a walkin, talking advertisement and seem to be having such fun with it
That looks like a good evenings work to me.
See that is why I need to win one. I could get so much done so much faster. You lucky dog.
Looks like you are getting this process down quite good. It is amazing. Your quilt looks so goodtoo. What fun!!

Did you just make 3 quilts in 2 days?!
Great quilt top, how did the cake turn out?!
Loving your new toy!!
Not shabby at all! That's a nice small pile of leftover scraps.
While the cake is baking you have to have something to do to keep you out of trouble, right?
I just might have to GO to American Samoa to see this cutter in action!!! :)
How fun! I think you pile of scraps is very small really.
Loving your fun wish we were there to enjoy too.Love your cut pieces. Hugs, Marie

Pretty amazing- Barb you are going to be able to speed quilt- I am impressed on how little wasted fabric that there is when you are cutting.
Thanks for sharing your fun quilt- I am sure that your cake was just as delicious as this.
