My current project

This is an EQ6 rendering of my current project. The outer blocks are 12 inches finished the inner block that makes the big star will measure 24 inches. I posted this last night on facebook and changed the placment of a few blocks (orange in the corners). I think it looks better this way.

These blocks were cut with an Accuquilt GO! The dies used were the chisels, 3 inch finished triangle, the 6 inch finished square and the 6 inch finished triangle. You'll remember from my last post that I had friends cut my triangles..If you can guess what arrived on my doorstep today (without my knowledge!) I'll let you stay up late Friday night.

Here's my original design, I didn't like the way the orange blocks played with the center block so I sent them to the corners.

    LOL

    Actually, I was writing to tell you that your quilt pattern (and it's colors) are SPECTACULAR!!!!

    Ever think about becoming a designer, writing books, teaching and of course, quitting your full-time job? *grin*

  8. I think you are close to creating a super design that needs to be published! I haven't seen any published designs for the chisel die and believe there are many new quilters that are looking for patterns to buy to use with their GO!
