splash rotary cutter

When the folks at Olfa asked if I would like to try out one of their new Splash rotary cutters and blog about it, I just couldn't say no! The name "splash" and the fun color scheme had me hooked immediately. I have a quilt called Splash (shown below, it's a pattern in Sunday Morning Quilts) that matches the new cutter exactly. That is pretty fun!
I've been using the rotary cutter for a month or so and I'm loving it! It features a quick change blade, which is super simple to use. I tried it out just to see how it works (not because my blade was dull) and I like the ease of use. The cutter is light weight, but still sturdy. The contoured handle is wonderful! I cut with both my left and right hands intermittently and it works equally well in both. (Dare I say that only lefties can truly appreciate that?) Last but not least, did I mention that I love that it's aqua? Oh, I probably did. :)
I usually dread cutting, but between a cute new cutter and my new counter height cutting table, (see below) I've actually started to enjoy the process. In fact, I've started a few new habits. Whenever I cut for a project, I cut out a few extra 3" squares. When I'm ironing, I'll grab a scrap or two out of one of my many scrap baskets, press them, cut out a few 3" squares and add them to the pile. Between those two new habits, eventually I'll have enough squares to sew together into a quilt.
It's kind of like leaders and enders, but on the cutting front. It's a (feeble?) attempt to get my scraps under control. Because there is a teeny tiny chance that I might possibly have a scrap problem. Maybe. :)
Anyway....I'm happy to tell you that I also have a new splash rotary cutter to give away to one of my readers! If you would like to throw your name in the virtual hat, please leave me a comment at the end of this post. In your comment I'd like to hear one thing that you are looking forward to this week. I'll pick a winner in a few days. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my blog. I appreciate it very much. And as always....
 
Happy Monday to you!

I am looking forward to starting on a new quilt project for the Moda Bake Shop! :)

French 75 said...

I have wondered what the difference is between the new Splash cutter and my old work horse. Love the quick change feature. Toss my hat in the ring for a chance to win.

Unknown said...

My mother-in-law flew in from Iceland yesterday and I'm REALLY looking forward to spending time with her this week. She's a great cook, very helpful and laughs easily...I just love her...

Teressa P. said...

What a great idea about cutting extra squares. I think I'm going to start doing that. I'm looking forward to a pool party for my kids this weekend. It'll be nice and hot here in sunny Southern California! Thanks :)

Diane said...

Love the cutter! I am looking forward to getting back to sewing on my new Juki F400 (which I love!!!) after being out of town the last week.

Erica said...

I am looking forward to hanging out with our children while they are out of school and with our new lab puppy that we adopted last week.

knottygnome said...

thanks for the giveaway! i am expecting 3 packages of fabric in the mail this week. i'm always looking forward to that.

Sandy said...

I appreciate the info about what you are doing to cut down on scraps. What a great idea to make a scrap pile of all 3" squares. I am going to start doing just that.
I also appreciate the chance to win a new cutter. My old Olfa is working just fine, but I really like the new color.

marcella said...

I have the same cutting table as you and I really love it - perfect height and great size. I've been thinking I should be cutting my scraps into a shape to sew up later, but I still have to decide what that shape is. One day I'll get there!

Judy H said...

I recently bought one on sale. However, it seemed to have developed a gap and doesn't cut cleanly. Will change out the blade to see if that helps. Cutting out all the pieces for a Judy Niemeyer design means I need a good blade.

Rori said...

The color of this cutter is so bright and fun! I can't wait to change the blade on it for the first time. I also enjoy cutting my strips and squares as I go in hopes my scraps will be contained also. Thanks for the chance to win a rotary cutter.

Trish said...

Is it ok to say that I'm really looking forward to Friday? ;) Thanks for the chance to win!

Sally Hurst said...

I'm at quilt camp this week in beautiful Costa Mesa Ca. I such fun and I'm learning a lot!

That really is a super cool rotary cutter, but my mind is mostly on having a new grand-child today! Our oldest son's wife is due...well, two days ago! So we are very anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new baby girl! Did I mention that I am excited?
Love the quilt and so neat that it matches the rotary cutter!

Sounds like a great cutter (I'm a leftie too)! This week, I'm looking forward to binding my latest baby quilt in a nice turquoise. I think it's my cutest one yet!

I have been coveting that aqua cutter since they released it! :)

I'm looking forward to my brother's visit and winning a new cutter. Thanks.

PeachPatchQuilts said...

Very cute, im always amazed at how much simpler cutting seems with a fresh blade. even better if you dont have to slice yourself while replacing it. those leader enders add up quick, before you know it you will have a quilt.

kelli said...

I never thought about leader and enders for cutting! I'm going to start taming my scrap basket this week and that little trick just might help!

mom2three said...

I would love to try that rotary cutter, I hate changing the blade in mine!

This week I look forward to having some time for myself and clean the new old sewing machine I found in a sales shop (don't know the English word) for almost nothing. But we'll see when that happens.
I like the colours of the new cutter, too. I have the yellow one.

There are several things I am looking forward to this week. I will be 62 tomorrow, the next block comes out on Aiming for Accuracy Quilt-a-long, and I get to go to my favorite quilt shop Thursday to learn how to make pillowcases/with name embroidered on it. Sooo many things to be thankful for. Thank you for all you do.

I haven't seen my quilting friends for a while and it will be fun to sew and catch up. Thanks for the chance!

Tiffany said...

This week I'm looking forward to nicer weather, so I can play outside with my son. It's been so rainy and muggy that we haven't really done that yet this week! :( Bummer!

Thank you! I'm looking forward to less intense heat. It's not meshing too well with my hot flashes!

What a snazzy looking cutter! I'm looking forward to achieving a few UFO's.

Susana Neiger said...

Oh, how fun. Gotta love an awesome rotary cutter! Great thinkin' on the new habits - I've been trying to tame some scraps, too, by getting them pressed and cut into usable sizes. What am I looking forward to this week? Finding something fun and "summery" to do with my kids. :-)

Unknown said...

LOVE the color(like a wall in my kitchen, and some FABRIC I've collected) of the cutter!!! I'll be fixing blueberry muffins and having a friend over for coffee/muffins tomorrow AM and then to a quilt shop. Also I'll be finishing the binding on a UFO and doing some blocks of the 100 Modern Quilt Blocks--love summer! ! Marlae

Love my rotary cutter. Would like to know how this is different from the regular olfa rotary.

I too don't care for cutting, I feel I don't do it exactly enough. (grammer??) I am so looking forward to using or trying to use my new long arm quilting machine I just got last weekend and it is finally loaded and ready to start quilting.

Ruth Clapp said...

I started three months ago to cut my fabric that was less than a 1/4 yard and fabric that I no longer like into 25" strips. I have made a Scrappy Trip Around the World but now I realize that it will take forever to use up all these strips. I think I'll cut four and two inch strips from now on. It might be easier to use them up.

beth said...

I have been wanting to try that cutter! I am looking forward to making raspberry jam tomorrow. Just picked a bowlful from our patch.

I've only heard good things about the splash, but I have to be honest - I would buy it anyway, just for the color!

The thing I'm looking forward to this week is the baby shower my mom is throwing for me over the weekend! With only a month or so to go, I'm equally excited to see everyone and to be able to start putting our nursery together after we get home!

April (Polkadot Sparrow) said...

1.) didn't know you we're a lefty! Me, too. :)
2.) I cut big projects at the kitchen counter because yeah--table height is killer on the back!! How nice that you have a tall table!
3.) I look forward to my 4-year-old taking a trip to Chicago with her aunties to have an adventure of a lifetime this weekend. Can't wait to hear all about it.

But secretly waiting for it to be over with so I can finally get down & dirty with some quilting, but what a great way to start off before getting to some UFO's a nice Vacation & this time it's just hubby & I ALONE!!

AJ said...

I really do like the bright colors, and it seems to compliment your splash quilt so well as well! And I don't think this would be a cutter that would get lost on the floor (yes, mine do get lost occasionally).

yeissen said...

Love the cutter! I'm looking forward to the weekend!!! Is it Hump day yet???

colleen said...

Well I'd really like to win a new cutter.

For sewing I have some mending that I am happy to do .. It's a patch on my husbands pants my first patch was not large enough so he wore a new pant part out. I don't know why I do enjoy patching up his clothes... It might be that he asks so nicely and thanks me too

Ooh, would love to try it! I am looking forward to flying to Canada and seeing my parents this weekend, after not having seen them in over a year. I'm also looking forward to going to a Canada Post outlet to mail some Miss U charity blocks to Cheryl, after having read about her charity drive on your blog :).

Lovely giveaway. I'd like to throw my name in the hat, as well. I've heard of this already, but it doesn't seem to be available in the UK yet.

Gill said...

I'm looking forward to some cooler weather!

Brittney said...

I am looking forward to NOT traveling this week. Getting some projects done around the house and enjoying summer!

Tarmy said...

I'm looking forward to my mom visiting and making some aprons for my girls.

Kathleen said...

I plan to spend sewing time with my six year old granddaughter from Germany!

Pamela said...

Thanks for sharing! And thanks for all the inspiration on your blog! I am quilting one of my great grandmother's quilt tops, and I'm looking forward to finishing it. Since it is a quilt from the 30's, I decided to hand quilt it. It's fun and relaxing, but oh so time consuming!

I'm looking forward to this afternoon when I have to leave work early to meet the security alarm guy at my house. That means I'll have time to cut fabric! Woot!
Thanks for the chance!

I am looking forward to finishing up my continuing education requirements to renew my professional license. Then I can get back to quilting!

Paula said...

I am SO looking forward to finishing a quilt for my grandson. It has been a long process.
Always love to see your posts and what you are up to.
Thanks for the chance.

I am really looking forward to finishing up my first embroidery project! :D I am using this to beef up on my hand sewing skills...
Then, I am hoping and wishing for a Hexagon Die from Accu Quilt for my birthday this month so that I can start another hexie quilt! Fingers crossed and wishing! :D

I've always been too afraid of trimming my scraps into a certain square size. What if I need them to be a different size? But I guess if you have a quilt in mind it makes sense.

Beth said...

What fun colors! I'm looking forward to having extended family at my house this weekend.

Linda said...

This week I'm looking forward to a possible new job offer for my husband, which would mean a move to the same town as our grandchildren!

Mie said...

Love the colors on that cutter. I look forward to workin some more on my Dear Jane quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.

I am looking forward to a visit with our son and granddaughter at the end of the week. I am also looking forward to doing the final quilting on a UFO that is many years old.

I am looking forward to Friday so I can stay at home!!! Thanks for the chance to win!

Madeleine said...

It's a crazy week! We're packing up and getting ready to move. I'll be glad when we're done!

Unknown said...

Looking forward to assembling my scrappy blocks while watching cycling's Tour de France. Here's hoping Chris Froome keeps on top form. What a sequel to Murray winning Wimbledon that would be!

Unknown said...

This week I'm looking forward to getting together to sew with some friends. We call ourselves the Bostwick Babes after one of our favorite quilting authors. I'm looking forward to getting the new Splash rotary cutter when our local quilt shop has sale prices for the ladies in our end of July retreat.

I'm looking forward to Saturday night. My son will be at a sleepover and my husband is working, which means a whole evening of guilt free sewing for me!

My 6 year old granddaughter and I are starting a quilt for her where she will be learning cutting and simple sewing. She has the sewing down pretty good but wouldn't it be a fun cutter for her to add to her sewing box that I started for her at Christmas. It contains mainly thread and this would help it grow. Thanks so much, Dian

I'm looking forward to the weekend as the sunny weather(a rarity in Wales) is going to continue.

Jacqueline said...

Cute cutter! I'm looking forward to binding a queen size quilt!!!

Lana said...

Great ideas, and hopefully, a new and better cutter will help me with all my scraps! Sign me up!

Kathleen said...

Would love to win - and what a good idea to cut a few squares. Must remember that! Along with all the other brilliant quilting ideas I hear but never seem to do....X
