Quilt Square with the Cricut and Big Shot



Happy Saturday Everyone!!
This is a quilt square that I made using the big shot and the cricut. I cut the heart out on the cricut using George and then I cut the scallop square using my big shot and the Stampin' Up! Scallop Square die. I used heat n bond lite on the back of the fabric before I cut it with the cricut, but you don't have to for the big shot. The entire square measures 8x8. It is just so fun using your cricut and big shot for things other than paper!! :)
Thanks for looking and happy crafting,
