How I cut for my quilts.

My last post you saw that I have my own 2 1/2 inch strips and I talked about precut kits and I said that I had to get the 5 inch squares cut and packaged. So today I thought that I would show you all how I get my things cut.
 
 
Well I use the accuquilt studio die cutter. I have had this for some years now. I really have been making use of it for my own projects, but now I am putting it too good use with my fabrics that I am selling. Making my own precut kits, putting together 2 1/2 inch strip packages and cutting my own 5 inch squares packages.
 
 
See how fast you can cut your fabric with the accuquilt studio die cutter.
 
 
These are just a small sample of what I can cut with the studio die cutter.
 
 
All cut with the studio die cutter. I did this up as a precut kit.
 
 
This die I had made to my size that I would like. This is a Dresdon Plat die. It makes a 6 inch plate that will sit on an 8 inch block. On this die you have a choice of two different styles of Dresdon Plats.
 

 
These are the blocks made up.
 
 
This is another small die that I had made to the size that I wanted. These are small the smallest end is going to be finished at 3/4 of an inch the other end will be finished at 2 inchs and they are finished at 3 inch long.
 
 
This is the quilt top that was made using the die above.
 
 
They have applique dies too. I have many of there applique dies I have also had some applique shape made up into dies I do a lot of applique.

 
I did this with the die above. I like to do needle turn applique.
 
 
This was all cut using different dies for the back ground and for the applique I cut the pieces out of freezer paper and did needle turn applique.


 
 
close ups of the applique flowers.
 
I could go on and show more but I think that I will save some for another day.
 
Happy Quilting!
