Thanks for all the complements! I am due to get a quilt done for my mom... I have done 3 baby quilts, one for my Mother in Law and a few for myself. She wants simple brown - so I am doing 9 patches and they have turned out nice - but just not as fun as this.

I love love love my cutter. This will help me take the chance on patterns I would not normally attempt. Completly worth the money. Espically after my husband just got a new cool guy exaust system for his truck. It makes me feel less guilty for spending so much :)

Love it. Have an accuquilt what dies did you use, please?

I used the 4-7/8 triangle (55002) the Half Square 3in finished triangle (55009) and the 3 1/2 square (55006). I started with just the 3 1/2 triangles - but the other 2 sizes worked in perfectly.

I got the starter kit and they said they mostly worked together. They work really well together! I can't wait to get the tumbler.

Also - take a look on You Tube for LoveBug Studios. She has really great videos and tons of good ideas. The one about marking the die was really helpful and it seems it helps not waste fabric.

Love your stars, it's one of my favorite stars too. I would love to have an Accuquilt, been saving my pennies for one. Just hope nothing comes along & takes them pennies before I get one. :)

Does the accuquilt work better with unwashed or prewashed fabric, or does it not make a difference?

Is the fabric layered when you cut it? And do you have to cut the width of the fabric down from the 42-44 inches in order to use the accuquilt?

The stars are so pretty. They are very, very neat.
