Impression Obsession: Summer 2020 Die Release

DIE987-ZZ Scalloped Pinwheel
D21313 Winter Fox - coming soon!
C21309 Warm My Heart - coming soon!
I'm hosting the Mix-Ability challenge today over on Splitcoast with a paper quilting challenge, so I chose to showcase this new Scalloped Pinwheel die in three different ways! Above you can see the die cut with all the sections pieced in different colors... and a little sneak peek at some Fall/Winter stamps coming soon from Nola Chandler! They were sitting on my desk so patiently while I was working this weekend, and those fox jammies and the sentiment were such a perfect fit with the quilt, I couldn't wait to put them all together.

DIE987-ZZ Scalloped Pinwheel

The die is all one piece, but it cuts the outer frame (which could be used with any square insert), inner frame, and all those half-squares separately. There are 2 different sizes of half squares, which can also be liberated beyond the frame into any half-square quilt pattern your heart desires! I did a pinwheel here with the small ones. My card base here is a 4" square, which allowed me to make a 16-block pattern.


I used the larger half-squares for  a simple Lonestar design (I used the one pictured here and there are 33 more linked on that page!). This card base is 5-1/4" square. This was a great way to use up scraps of patterned and mixed media paper!


Three commenters will win a $25 gift certificate today, so the more you comment the more chances to win! Comments will close Monday June 8th at noon CT, and the winners will be announced on June 9th, so be sure to check back for your name!

Thank you for visiting me - now you're off to visit my friend Giovana!
Thanks for stopping by!
