AccuQuilt GO! Snail Trail Quilt
This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share a commission.The Mississippi river is frozen and there aren’t any snails down along the shore but…..I did have my Snail’s Trail quilt out there! I am so ready for winter to be over!
I am tickled to be taking part in the GO! BIG blog hop and when I was contacted about receiving the GO! BIG electric cutter and a GO! BIG die I couldn’t wait for the box to get here! I also chose the GO! Snail’s Trail die, that was a hard decision as I liked all of them! I was given a fat quarter bundle of Downtown Abbey by Andover Fabric to use for my project for the blog hop.
I couldn’t wait to use it and…..I cut up all the Downtown Abbey before I realized I had forgotten to take pictures. I have several other projects I’ll be sharing soon and will show the steps for putting together this block. This die is so neat! One cut gives you all the pieces for one color of the block. I also used 9 pieces of muslin for my blocks. They are huge…..12 1/2″ blocks!
It is very safe to use and I did a post earlier where I showed my grand-daughters helping me cut with it. If you missed it check it out here.
I have to be honest and say that I had never made the Snail’s Trail block in all my years of quilting. This die makes it so easy and I just love it!
I hope you have been enjoying the AccuQuilt GO! BIG blog hop and be sure to visit all the other blogs that are taking part. You’ll get some great ideas!

Beautiful quilt and easy to make. I made it years ago in a double and I still remember how fast it went together. Colors are striking.
Connie, this is a fabulous quilt – love all your pictures! (And your little helpers!)
Snails trail is one of my favorites. What a great way to cut them out!
Great quilt & the fabrics & color really helped brighten my day. Sweet granddaughters! Its good to see how safe the Go cutter is.
Beautiful job on your Snail's Trail quilt Connie – it is gorgeous! You make me want the Snail's Trail die so bad – I would LOVE to try it…thanks for the inspiration.
I couldn't wait to see what you were going to make Connie. I really love your quilt and am shocked that you've never made this block before now. I LOVE the colors in your quilt.
Good for you for hopping over all that snow to get a great picture! Your snail's trail is great. And so are those little helpers you have–just darling!
Connie you have such darling granddaughters… I have to go see your other post about them helping you out.
Your snail's trail quit turned out so great1 That is one big cutter!
Absolutely gorgeous quilt. I love the picture in the snow. But the best of all are your beautiful grand-daughters!
It is a beautiful quilt, Connie. It must have been exciting to have a machine to do the cutting for you-A great time saver. I loved seeing it. Thanks for sharing.
Really nice Connie, Really wonderful to have a die to work with. I have never made one either. Thanks for sharing.
