"Nana, I've been looking for a die cutting machine that will work for fussy-cutting. Did the Fuse allow you to center the design as you wanted it - easily?"
Easily enough. I rough cut the fussy cut fabric into approximately 5" squares with a scissors. Then laid the 5" square onto the die. Easy peasy! You can do 6 layers at a time.
Love the Fuse! They're on sale at Joann's for $99.99 right now. I don't like the Fuse dies much...don't waste your money on those. But the die cut machine itself is wonderful.
I have two of them....one for quilting dies downstairs, and the other upstairs to use with the Spellbinders for cardmaking.
And the Accuquilt dies are wonderful time savers! I got all those triangles cut out in an hour. Would have taken me weeks using the clear templates I was using before. And the templates aren't nearly as accurate.

Wonderful quilts...I have made this pattern before, but did not think of using it for an I Spy quilt...I will put this idea in my idea notebook. Your Grandchildren will be very excited when they receive them

I love them, great pattern, great job. The colors are wonderful. I'm going to do an I Spy, haven't decided on the pattern yet. But I think mine will be a lot simpler, I'm just not confident enough yet to try one like this. But I have some time yet, my little grand gal is only 4 months old.
