Technology and I are sometimes at odds... and somehow that has resulted in two blogs. Therefore, this blog will be shut down, and new content will be added to QuiltingJeanne.blogspot.com    Thanks!

3d Exploding Cubes, with AccuQuilt

Making 3d Exploding Cube design with #AccuQuilt is so easy. The strip die makes 60° diamonds quick and easy. Just turn your cut strips and lay them against the 60° line and cut again. (I used the 2.5" strip.) The cut diamonds can form a cube using 3 pieces. But that would require a "y" seam. I used die 55079 to cut equilateral triangles. Pieced in rows, one diamond, one triangle, repeat. Then sew the rows together!




 

QAYG hexi on-the-go project

Quilt as You Go Hexis (Perfect "on-the-go" project!)

*Cut backing fabric with #55011 large hexi shape.
*Cut front and batting with medium shape from same die.
*Use washable glue to attach batting to wrong side of backing (I made a template for placement.)
*Set front fabric, right side up, on batting, completing quilt sandwhich.
*Fold raw edge to touch batting on first side.
*Fold again, and pin.
*Repeat all the way around. Sew the self edge binding down.
*Enjoy!

Qube - open the box !

Tip for those who have a Qube still in the wrapper...

Find some different colored scraps of fabric and cut out 8 or so pieces of each shape.

Take all those pieces and go set down and play with them, arranging in different ways: 4 patches, 9 patches, etc. 

You will be amazed by what you come up with. And you soon will be cutting out a quilt with them.

Arkansas Traveler

AccuQuilt has a new die for their Go! fabric cutting system: Arkansas Traveler. The pieces are cut very accurately, and it goes together quick and easily.

Designing Quilt Blocks

Playing with my Go! Fabric Cutting System. These two blocks, made with my 9" Qube dies, are going to work up into a great quilt!

Circles

Playing with my AccuQuilt. Who knew circles could be so fun AND so easy?

QAYG Hexies

Quilt as you go hexis... a slow process. But I adore the fact that they travel so well. I precut all the backing, batting, and top pieces, and carry 10 or 15 with me all the time. A 15 minute wait is no longer an aggravation, but rather a happy moment to quickly finish another part of this project. In a plane, as a passenger in the car, waiting to pick someone up: Finding happy moments!
