Silhouette Christmas Quilt

Is anyone else doing this quilt from Bernina and OESD?
I saw it and fell in love! While mine will basically be the same, I chose a different line of fabrics, “Together” by Brannock and Patek for Moda to do mine in.
I’m also going to do the appliqués in felt. National Wovens has a new line out called “XoticFelt” made from a bamboo/rayon blend that is dry cleanable. I am testing a piece in the washing machine on the delicate cycle, as I have to be able to wash my quilts!
Since I have the AccuQuilt Studio and not the GO!, I’ll have to cut my appliqués by hand as these dies are not available for the Studio. Or I may convert them and let the Cutwork software and tool cut them out. I’ve never worked with felt before, so we’ll see how it goes!
These are my fabrics.
;)
This morning I’m going to get them all starched, and I have the felt in the washing machine now. I’d like to get at least one block made today to see how I like it!

Oh I saw this quilt made up last week at a quilt shop that I was visiting. I loved it! I loved her fabric choices as she has the whole fabric line. If only I didn't have so many projects right now. I almost bought the fabric for it right there and then . . .but I might go back. I'm surprised that there isn't cutwork files included in the Holiday Collection #1. Guess they want you to buy the AccuQuilt Go. But I don't think it would be hard to make your own to use with the cutwork tool.
I made my own designs using the cutwork software. It was such a snap to do so since it was my first thing, I was happy!
I have not made it yet but plan to. Did you get the designs done for the cutter? Did they work out?
