I just got the accuquilt go...please post pics
 
I finally broke down and got the GO. It is on sale at Joann's this week. I only have the value die that comes with it. I will make the quilt pattern that came with it but would love some suggestions as to what else I can do with that die. Wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of your projects too. I am sure others would like to see what else you can do with that die also. I need some inspiration.:)

You can go on the Accuquilt web site and find several patterns you can use with the value die , you can also find a video on youtube using the same die.

they have so many dies you can make just about anything..

I use the 2x2 for leaders and enders quilts
i use the 2.5x2.5 for patterns that call for them
i use the 3.5x6.5 for scrappy cobblestone quilt
I use the rag dies for quick and easy baby quilts- applique any of the baby shapes in alternate sqs
I use the Big Tumbler quilt for quick and easy scrappy last min quilts
I use the bigger sqs to cut up scraps for later projects
I use baby tumbler on flannel scraps for later baby quilts
I use the 9in Hex for Floating hex pattern
I use the smaller hex die for GFG
DWR, Blazing Star, Peter & Paul and the like are just great to have as I cannot imagine cutting all those pieces

Just remember to buy extra mats- keep plenty of each on had as they are disposable.. When on sale stock up....

What size is the value die that comes with the Accuquilt Go?

go to you tube. Tons of videos about the Go and also the Accuquilt Go Facebook page has lots of pictures of quilts and free quilt patterns.

Lot so good suggestions. I do love scrappy quilts. I plan on getting the tumbler and also the apple core, not sure if I should get the larger ones of these two or the smaller version. I have to wait awhile though. I do want the large rag die also. I have never made a rag quilt and i think it would be so cuddly out of flannel. Oh then I want some of the triangler ones and......I sound just like my grand kids...lol!

when you start to buy your dies look on ebay, I get most of mine there for 1/3 the cost

also watch the sales at Joanns. Sometimes they are cheaper than my wholesale and have a better selection. Especially on the adapters, etc so that you can use it for paper works!
