I have been making all kinds of blocks using some batik fabrics and the new die available from AccuQuilt. The die I have been having a lot of fun with is the 6″ Finished Spool die.

I have used some of the fabrics for plain blocks…..I might used these for a border.Easy AccuQuilt GO! Spool DieThis die contains all of the cuts on die and they are closer together than I would like but no worries…..I’ll create other blocks with the leftovers.
Fast and Easy AccuQuilt GO! Spool DieI just pulled out my scraps of colorful batiks for the thread on the spools. I decided to cut 2 of each fabric for my thread instead of 4 as shown on the die cover.

In case you are wondering, the neutral fabric isn’t a batik. Many times I mix batiks with regular quilt fabric and never have a problem with my quilting.

    I’ve had fun with that die too! I’m working with the heart one now.
    The affiliate text on the bottom, do you add that or is that a permanent thing?

    I like your spool blocks. One of these days I am going to make a spool block quilt as I have always liked the spool block.
