I took a little time over the weekend to play with my new chisel die for my Accuquilt Go!  In an old quilt magazine I got at the “used store”, I saw a  pattern for a star block.  After looking at the block several times, I wondered if I could make it with the Chisel Die….Well I can and so can you!  There’s a look at the finished blocks….
To make the block you need a chisel die and a 3″ finish half square triangle.
When you cut the the chisel pieces, you need to keep ALL of the fabric facing UP. Â Don’t accordion fold the pieces. Â You need 4 dark chisels and 4 light chisels. Â You also need to cut 4 dark triangles and 4 light triangles. Â Lay the pieces on each other as shown. Â Sew the seam and press open as shown.
Sew the pieces together as shown.
Continue sewing making four pieces. Â Lay them out as shown. Â Sew together.
Make more and more and more and more….then you’ll have a quilt. Â The blocks finish out at 12 inches.
This project was just a fun play day thing. Â I don’t know if the blocks will actually get made into a quilt anytime soon but it is fun to play! Â If you’re wondering how my Cotton Candy Squares quilt from last week is coming along….check back later this week. Â I only have ONE more border to put on the then the big reveal.
P.S. Â If you want a good laugh, check out the video I made showing how to make the chisel star block. Â I also started a new page on the blog listing project ideas or cutting tips using my Go! Cutter. Â I have been playing a lot and expect to add to the page often! And one more thing, today is the last day for my “cleaning my sewing room giveaway“.
I just watched your Youtube videos and your ideas were great! Thank you so much for sharing :-D
Very nice! And how slick with your Go!!
I like the blocks. Now I have two more dies to add to my list for the Go! Cutter. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for listing project ideas for the Go. I need all the help I can get.
I just watched your video…you did a great job. I just love that block.
What a great pattern, I’ve made it from bricks and squares using the flip and sew method, but using the die cutter would be lot quicker and easier. I love your video!
Really nice stars…nice colours
Cool Jo…I just watched all 3 of your videos, well done.I have never seen the Go Cutters in action…now I know what all the excitement is about.
I caught your video last night and thought you did a spectacular job! Well done! Now you say I need this die huh? I need to get busy with the others!!
Love how you did the stars and the fabrics are perfect.
