I didn't have the right sized dies to cut what I needed. I didn't even look to see if they have those sizes, but I figured I would see how I liked the quilt before investing in dies for it.

Otherwise I will say this...this mext quilt isn't as sqaure as the others I made with the Accuquilt. Just a few curves in some of my strips...bit it's only off alittle. Still annoys me though!

Well right here! :) I don't have the edges on it yet, but here a snapshot of the work in progress. The lighter patches have different prints ont hem and don't come out so well in the picture.

Glad you had success. As for quilting - figure 2.5 cents per inch for all over. More for custom work. That is severla hundred per quilt.

Thanks for the picture. It looks great! I think I commented about this on one of your other quilts - your points are great. They like match and stuff :)

Great job! Yup...you just need to keep practicing that cutting...without using a box of bandaids.....Your quilt looks great!

Mike you're doing GREAT!! If you don't cut the straightest, you can fudge it a little.

This is a good sign you are on your way to fantastic quilts. If you don't make mistakes, and if you are willing to "settle" your quilts and skills aren't going to get any better. Mistakes are valuable learning tools. Awesome work so far!

My long arm quilter charges a flat rate. It is $65 for a queen size. She'll do sashing and borders different from each block, so it actually is a custom quilt. I have been very pleased with her work.
