Are you ready for some quilting fun? AccuQuilt has not one but two new GO! Block on Board® dies that are launching today, so let’s GO! take a look at them! The GO! Magnolia Bud-7” Finished and the GO! Arrowhead-9” Finished dies are fun classic blocks that are now possible to create with the ease and perfection you get with the GO! Fabric Cutting System. These Block on Board dies give you all the pieces to make a specific block on one die board making it quick and simple to get started creating fresh, new projects.
If you aren’t familiar with AccuQuilt’s innovative Block on Board dies, they not only feature all the pieces to make a block on one die, but the shapes also have screen printed letters and specialized dog ears and the ¼” seams built-in to make sewing them accessible for anyone who can sew a ¼” seam. Detailed Block Assembly Directions can be found for each die both on the packaging and as free downloads on the die product pages on AccuQuilt.com.
While both blocks are standard classics, both dies offer a variety of creative options with fabric and color choices to change the look and create modern masterpieces.
GO! Magnolia Bud-7” Finished
This die creates a sweet block that resembles a magnolia bud, but there’s so much you can do with this one! Traditionally, you might find this elegant block created with foundation paper piecing, but there’s no need to struggle with that when you have this new die! Now, you can cut your 4-color block with one pass through any GO! Fabric Cutter.
GO! Sweet Magnolia Table Runner
We always will encourage you to take your new dies out and put them to use right away with a test block and a small project, like this table runner. This pattern was designed by Amanda Harward of Larkspur Quilts for AccuQuilt using Art Gallery Fabrics to help you set a perfectly lovely table. The sets of four blocks together creates a wonderful secondary design without adding any other blocks – just the blocks, sashing and a border.
GO! Magnolia Vine Throw Quilt
This throw quilt designed by Ellen Ault of Handmade 3D for AccuQuilt is as pretty as can be. The block’s own pieces work together with the GO! Square 7 ½” (7” finished) to create the vine design. The winding design is perfectly set off by the “bouquet” of blocks in the center and the bud in each corner to draw you into the design.
GO! Prairie Tulip Throw Quilt
This quilt is nothing short of a showstopper! Designer Terri Vanden Bosch of Lizard Creek Quilting created this stunning throw quilt for us by using Andover Fabrics and by teaming up the GO! Magnolia Bud-7” Finished BOB die with the GO! Prairie Star-14” Finished BOB die. Who could have guessed that two such classic blocks would team up to create a modern looking masterpiece!
GO! Southern Belle Throw Quilt
You’re sure to feel warm southern breezes blowing as you’re transported to a sweet southern garden with this quilt. Designer Laura Strickland of Orange Blossom Quilts created this lovely quilt for us by combining the new GO! Magnolia Bud-7” Finished BOB die with the GO! Priscilla Strip – 6” Finished BOB die, the GO! Qube 6” Companion Set Angles and the GO! Flower Bunch. All combined, they create a stunning design that’s sure to be admired and enjoyed by all.
GO! Arrowhead – 9” Finished
Get ready to create dozens of different and exciting designs with this BOB die. The basic block features angular designs that resemble the pointed tips of arrows with clean lines and bold shapes that feel oh-so contemporary. This die is designed to cut a 2-color block in one pass through any GO! cutter, including the GO! Me, and it allows you to construct this stunning block with ease – and no Y seams! Adding more colors and changing color placement will lead you to more and more stunning looks, all from this one die! Here’s a look at some stunning projects to get you started. All these patterns are available for you as free downloads from AccuQuilt.com.
