Bed of Roses Project

Getting back to our regularly scheduled blogging.

If you have a GO! or thinking of getting one...this book may be a great help to you.

Mix & Match Quilts with the Accuquilt GO! can be found HERE.

The cool thing is that you can download it right away...no waiting to get started on that 'certain' project.

I was asked to review one of the quilts in the book.

My project for this book is the Bed of Roses quilt.

I decided that I wanted to try the 2 main blocks and see if the GO! would really cut an accurate block for me.

I have never tried blocks like these before.

So I grabbed a jelly roll of Modern Workshop by Oliver & S for Moda...and started cutting.

Wait no I didn't.

I realized that the block in the book is a 9" block made with dies I didn't own.

Bummer.

So I improvised.

I used my 2" finished triangles and squares....

 I auditioned several 'pink' prints...

It's amazing how these fabrics totally change the feel of the blocks/quilt.

I was trying to find the right print.

I settled on the light pink stripe.

Here's what I sewed up.

I did finish the 4 blocks. I did. I plan on making it some sort of pillow? not sure.

For some reason I didn't take a pic of the finished block.

Eventually I will.
