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.

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!

Flight home from Indie. Treadmill run once home.

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!

Winter Running

Have you heard that to dress properly for winter running you should pretend its 10°s warmer than it actuly is?  It is easy to dress too warmly. As someone who likes to log miles outside, this too, while it might sound silly, works for me!
