[QUOTE=Terry in the ADK;8153515]Went to China several years ago and so will try to replicate Bonnie’s colors which were certainly prevalent in Beijing !
Here’s my question: I “justified “ buying an Accuquilt Go Big because I do these mystery quilts every year! Good excuse don’t you think! Anyway the dies are on sale,20% off, right now. What ones will she use! Does she give any clues? I have the very basic I think but would like to get what else I need while on sale.
BTW most LQS who carry them honor the sale so you don’t pay shipping![/QUOTE
If I were to guess about Accuquilt dies for a Bonnie quilt, I would focus on small (2”,2.5”,1.5”) HSTs and QSTs. After those, I’d go for flying geese. For me, strips are fast to cut, where as her triangles can take many hours every week. Last year was the first time I already had all the necessary dies, and I spent an hour or less cutting each week. I view my dies as an investment. I don’t intend to sell them if they aren’t being used “enough.” To me, they are something to be used and used over the years.
