New Projects
AccuQuilt GO!
I received this box of fun the other day from the good people of AccuQuilt and have been having fun trying out some new dies and experimenting with how this GO! Baby works in comparison to my Accuquilt GO! cutter I received for Christmas. More on this in the next few days, but a little birdie told me there will be a tutorial featuring this little guy, the hexagon die, and machine piecing hexagons into some yummy summer placemats. Here's a sneak peek:
4x5 Modern Quilting Bee
I'm super excited to get started with this new off shoot of the 3x6 bee. Groups of 6 modern quilters making blocks for each of the other 5 quilters in their "hive" using modern fabrics from each members own "stash". Here's my mosaic I've put together to help my fellow hive-mates:
In Progress
Farmers Wife QAL
I've completed blocks 1-10, and as you can see, am 100% embracing the scrappiness! Hopefully I can keep this on the controlled side of scrappiness and away from train wreck scrappiness. You'll tell me if I'm veering off track, right? I am loving making these little blocks...some more than others, but its been fun to practice these more precise traditional piecing methods. Only 101 more to go...
Double Wedding Ring Quilt
Zero progress. Maybe I'll get down to it this week. Or maybe I'll be sending a belated wedding gift.
Kaleidoscope QAL
This stack of fabrics sure does look yummy. Unfortunately its still just a stack of fabrics. Maybe for next week I'll have all sorts of pretty triangles to show!

Accuquilt GO! tutorial
4 x 5 Modern Quilt Bee
Can't wait to hear about your Accuquilt! Said it already but love your FW blocks. And your 3x6 mosaic is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you already had the big AccuQuilt, can't wait to read about how you feel about this one comparatively! Love those hexies so far!
ReplyDeleteThose little hexagons look awfully cute!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmmmmm can't wait to hear about your cutter. your blocks all look very nice; lovely colours
ReplyDeleteFun to read your list of things you are working on--great new ideas for my consideration. I really enjoyed looking at your collage for your 4x5 bee as the colors are so perfectly coordinated with your blog--perfect refreshing summer colors.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new toy!

Love the cutters you chose! And I also chose the hexagons die for my Accuquilt... can't wait to see what you do with yours. Also, I'm loving the colors in your mosaic--they are so fresh. :)
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic for the 4X5 looks great! Anxious to see what you do with the accuquilt - I'm still not sure if it's something I would really use or not. curious.
ReplyDeleteOh, can't wait to hear how you like the baby vs. the GO! I have the GO, but it's heavy. It's great at home and for meetings, but I like to crank out some fabric cutting on my lunch break at work, so I'm considering a baby.
ReplyDeleteYour FW blocks all look great. Your 4x5 mosaic is fantastic, love those colors! My kaleidoscope fabric hasn't gotten anywhere near my rotary cutter either, sadly.
ReplyDeleteoh I like your 4 x 5 mosaic. It looks great. Can't wait to hear more about the go baby.
ReplyDeleteWow! How do you keep track of all that in your head?
ReplyDeleteYour Farmer's Wife blocks are looking great! Such nice bold colors, love them all. And your 4x5 inspiration mosaic is gorgeous! I hope you're in my hive!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
