AccuQuilt
I was very lucky to receive an AccuQuilt GO! with an 8″ Qube and Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day book of patterns.
I had considered purchasing one for a while but I was undecided. Having used one I really like it. It’s fast and accurate which makes it a joy to use.

I absolutely LOVE your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I have a couple of jelly rolls of batiks. Do you have a video on how to use them to make blocks?

Hi Leota, this QAL is a monthly event. We’ve released block 1 so far. The idea is to make a block every month. You can also share your pictures on Instagram or Facebook. Happy quilting 😊
