I have the Take Five for the Studio (Accuquilt) Has anyone here made a quilt from this die? Do you have any hints or suggestions? I would love to see some pictures of your quilts for some ideas. There are no instructions on sewing this.

Well, the quilt shown at the end of this video isn't exactly the most intricate. Meh.

I could see using one of the cuts at a time, maybe making your own Layer Cake and then doing something with those. Or just cutting the small squares. Maybe.

Here's a link to the die as an FYI:

I also have that die and I use the patterns from "The Teacher's Pet. Take '5' and Take '5' Gets to the Point.

IMO it really doesn't need instuctions, it's a simple design and pretty obvious how it goes together. Accuquilt does have free patterns for those needing them on their site. And others you can purchase.

I spent the morning yesterday cutting the fabric and taught my daughter inlaw how to quilt. I put the fabric in the way it tells you to but I found that when sewing them on square is always to big. Anyone else with this die have that problem?? I solved it by cutting the block down to 11 inchs. I can't figure out why they do not match up.

I would imagine that your 1/4" seam is the culprit.
