AccuQuilt Bloggers......

SewCalGal is setting up a group of bloggers who own AccuQuilt Cutters (the Go or the Studio). It will be a great network in which to share tips and ideas and to show what we make using the cutters. There is a button on my sidebar that will link you to her post telling about this. I think it will be a fun group...and even if you don't yet have an AccuQuilt cutter, you might want to check out the information that will be shared by the members of this group.

Here is an update on my quilt that I showed in my last post....the one designed in EQ7 with the intent to cut it entirely with dies from the AccuQuilt GO cutter. I had to vary, ever so slightly, the colors as it was a struggle to find 5 blues that looked okay together. I have made 6 of the non-blue blocks and here is a photo of them just laid out on the floor and also of just one of them close-up. (Of course, they will have sashing and cornerstones added to them.) I cannot begin to tell you what a savings in time the cutter has made.....and to have the half-square triangles make up so easily with NO "rabbit ears" to snip off is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I hope to get some of the blue blocks done today. Thanks, AccuQuilt for a great product!!!And thanks to so many of you who are on Facebook and saw it was my birthday yesterday and wished me a Happy Birthday. It was fun to see all those messages posted there throughout the day!!!
