RSC 2020 - Dark Blues
I shared my blue and green scrap snap blocks last week. This week I worked on my other 3 RSC projects - 5 blocks, for me , lots of scrappy labor. I cut most of these parts with the Gocutter. The blocks turned out so well and without any trimming. I've learned I'm not a very good rotary cutter and I will use the go whenever I can.

I especially like my die cutter for HSTs, QSTs, snowballs, and half rectangle triangles. SO much more accurate and no trimming of the "dog ears".
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Go is a good investment. I have to alternate cutting tasks with other tasks and cut a little at a time before hand and wrist hurt.
ReplyDeleteI am an Accuquilt girl myself. Way to bust those blue scraps!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a Go cutter, but can see where it would be a good investment. Cutting accurately can be a bit of a challenge sometimes! Your blocks look great!
ReplyDeleteyour blocks look great
ReplyDeleteLove all your blocks! I am still rotary cutting although I have seen more people using the cutters and getting great results.
ReplyDeleteI love my little Go! Baby cutter--especially for HST's and hourglasses...and strips and...the list goes on and on...I am not a very good rotary work person either-- yup "GO! Baby" Go ;)))
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look so lovely
Hugs on a hot and humid Saturday Julierose
An Accucutter is on my want list. Awesome blocks!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks..have a great day!
Pretty trad blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Day,
ReplyDeleteI too like my Accuquilt Go Baby and my 9 in cubes. I have a question. Is there a pattern for the pinwheel, friendship star block? Love your site and all you do for us. Thank you
There is not a link for pattern to send you too. I saw it in a photo of a tablerunner. I could see that it would tessellate nicely, so made up my own dimensions of 9 inch finished block. the center HST are finished at 1-1/2 " each to make a 3 " finished pinwheel in the center. The friendship star HST finish at 3 inches and the corner units also finish at 3 inches by cutting 2 " x 3-1/2" rectangles. assemble as a 9 patch once the units are created.
ReplyDeleteYour Dark BLUE blocks are SEW lovely, Kat!!
ReplyDeleteNice blocks! I forget about using my Go cutter; I need to use it more often.
ReplyDeleteYour dark blue blocks look great. I'm making the Scraptastic Star like the one on the top right also, but I still need to catch up with June on my RSC blocks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scrappy blue blocks! I love my Accuquilt cutter too, and I should remember to use it more often, especially since I'm getting more arthritis in my hands. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks, makes me want to try this Gocutter or kinf of!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing ;)
Beautiful blue blocks Kat. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using your Go Cutter. I like mine but can't always use it because I don't have the right size dies. Do you have a Qube or two? I have a 9" but I'm thinking it might be time to get the 12.
