Accuquilt Goodness

Oh I’m a super lucky gal! Β Accuquilt sent me some advance dies from their newly released Fall 2013 Die Series. Β It was a bit like Christmas! Β Although my box did suffer a bit in the mail.Β  Maybe wild dogs got to it? Β Or someone who really wanted those accuquilt dies? πŸ˜‰

But thankfully the dies were all in perfect shape! Β I have a ton of ideas for these and can’t wait to give them a good whirl through the cutters! Β Some are for the Go and some for the Go Baby.

Since these were prototypes, they don’t have cover art on them. Β But I can share the official images from accuquilt directly because these are available to everyone now! Β But if you look on the ends of the dies, you can see a small black image of the shape that these each cut. Β I’m particularly excited about the large and small clamshells, the wedge shape, and that equilateral triangle.

Now…the real question. Β Which one should I tackle first? Β Though it seems a *little* boring, I actually have an idea for the triangle right now. Β And I’m really liking the idea of die cut triangles because they notch off those pesky little tips you are often left with. Β So this quilt might fly. Β (Though I’m not at a flying pace lately…maybe it’s the newly cold weather here). Β So many possibilities!

I’m off to play!!

  1. What a lucky girl. I am waiting on a couple of deliveries myself and you're right… it does feel like Christmas when they arrive. I am new to the Accuquilt dies so I am very interested to see what you come up with. I thought I would try them out with my books but haven't quite take to them yet. Make something that makes me jealous and gets me using mine.

  2. I just got Accuquilt's email this morning and have been drooling over the clam shell die. I tried to trace and cut clam shell templates a month or two ago and it was so frustrating and inaccurate! The project got bagged, but I think it would be much, much more doable with dies.
    Have fun with them!

  3. Lol at Jenny's comment to cut a bunch and send to her–and me, too! haha! I have had my eyes on that 4-inch one and will definitely get it. Please work with that one soon! Would love to see how you put it together! πŸ™‚

  4. Wowzers! How fun! I think I ran my Go! Baby to the ground with HST's a few weeks ago. Poor thing had to go through all my scraps, now it cries when I turn the crank. Seriously! It makes a sad, moaning sound, ha ha! Still, I really love how easy the dies make the long, tedious cutting step.

  5. You are so right!!! You are a VERY VERY lucky girl. Those three dies that you have shown are the three I want from this new lot. There is still one or two I want from the piecing dies that are out already. Wish my name was Angela and I lived at your address.
