A couple of weeks ago I purchased a Sizzix cutting machine and have had little time to actually test it out. Yesterday, I just could not wait one more minute and decided to try out the "Rose Dream" die to cut up the blocks for the quilt you seen shown above. Wow, can I tell you that I am extremely impressed with the speed with which one can cut up fabric using a good cutting machine? This Rose Dream block comes with the pieces to piece the above block, plus includes an extra Drunkard's Path block as well. What I love about this in particular is not only do the pieces come cut perfectly, but they come out notched so that lining up and pinning is a breeze. Four blocks together (one X) measures 12 inches finished, so you can see that this quilt top measures 48" x 60". Not bad for a day's quilting effort!
I'm now looking forward to cutting more with my new Sizzix and doing some more testing!

Love the fabrics you used,it looks wonderful!
I need to check this cutting machine out. I hate the cutting part. Your quilt is lovely, the colours are beautiful.
The colors of your quilt are my favorite. Beautiful design.
So beautiful! I think I need a sizzix! ;)
So so good! Can't wait to see it in person!
I've only got some basic shapes for mine - but you have definitely inspired me to get some more. Your quilt looks beautiful!
