It's a "Go" Tumbler Die

All righty!! Here I “Go”



Look at all the goodies you will receive with your “Go”




The Cutting System
The Starter Die which includes a
4 ½ inch square a
2 ½ inch square and a
Half square 2 inch finished triangle (with dog-eared corners)
A 10 X 10 cutting mat
Fabric pick
And a dust cover!!


As I said in my previous post, I choose harder shapes for me to cut.



The 6 ½ inch Apple Core (with notches for easy piecing)
The 6 ½ inch Tumbler (with dog-eared corners)
The quarter square 4 inch finished triangle (An Alex Anderson Die) and
A 6 X 12 cutting mat

Ready to start. Here she is in all her glory!




I have decided to start out with the tumbler die.


BUT, wait; I have just encountered my first problem. MY PROBLEM and many with poor eye site was where was the blade?




Hmmm, how do I find it, push it with my hands? Not a good idea, use a magnifying glass? No!!
Aha! I headed over to the AccuQuilt You Tube Channel. Yes they have their own You Tube Channel!!

Look at what I found, pure genius!!!





OK, my die is now marked and I am ready to “Go”.



With a touch of fall in the air the first fun idea I had was to make a scrappy Halloween Pillow!

So, here are my fabric scraps for this project.



I choose some fabrics and laid them on the foam side of the die.



Placed the cutting mat on top.



And started to roll!!



Look at these beauties!!!



Hmmm, I had a lot of smaller pieces that I wanted to use, so, I made my own fabric!



Are you kidding, how cute are these!!



OK, stop playing Jane; and now I will try to sew them together. With the dog-eared corners it was so simple to match the pieces



Off to the machine.



Perfect!!



Look at what I did in less than ten minutes!!



Nuts to the pillow!! I am going to make a scrappy Halloween Quilt.
Look at all the pieces I made in under five minutes.




There is one very had part about this machine;

Picking out the fabrics!!!!


I am off to "Go" and have some more fun!

See you later!
