but i really, really LOVE this quilt.

we're on the home stretch as far as baby griffith is concerned. {yayyy!!!}
it's football season. {hubby = coach. son = player.}
we're in a moving transition. {new baby = new house.}
& i have 2 toddlers to tickle in between meals, laundry & doctor appointments.

needless to say...my dance card is full.
but i love it.
really.

so this is me...waddling signing off.
:P

promise. promise. promise.

p.s. to answer the #1 question in my inbox right now...
baby griffith's name is a surprise.
mwahahahahaha.
*that was my evil laugh*

maybe.

so this was my belly about a month ago.
the view hasn't changed much.
really.

okay so maybe it's a little more rounder.
& maybe my belly button is threatening to pop out.
& maybe...just maybe i can't see my feet.
maybe.

baby griffith in t-minus 5 weeks & counting.
or maybe she has different plans.

babies do have their own timing you know.

go! cutter.

so the peeps over at accuquilt blessed me with my very own go! cutter.
{remember???}

well i've had some time to play with it...
& now it's time for a rachel-ish review.



likes:
holy cow to cutting out a WHOLE quilt within a few minutes.
pieces are spot on precise. every. single. time.
a very fun, safe way to include your kiddos.
it's SO easy a caveman can do it.

dislikes:
fabric waste can happen if you aren't using your resourceful "a" game.
applique shapes need to be a bit bigger if you use needle turn method.
although the strip cutter is handy...i'm totally spoiled by moda precuts.



overall review:
i highly recommend scoring your own go! cutter.
especially if cutting fabric is your least fav part of quilting.

unfinished doll quilt stats:
size = 18" square
fabric = arabella by pat sloan for p&b textiles
tumbler die used.
critters die used.
2 1/2" strip die used.
{strips = not pictured.}

p.s. keep your eyes open...
i'm gonna give one of these bad boys to ONE lucky p.s. i quilt reader.
:O)
