I've never really used my Sizzix much for quilting, mainly because most of their quilt templates are for applique, though they are producing more piecing templates now.
Accucut have put out a whole range aimed at quilters. I can't really justify buying another machine, but one of the members of my Guild has one and let me borrow it. I was keen because there was one die I really wanted to use, Blazing Star.
I had to make it hard on myself by wanting to reverse the pattern, I wanted the dark on the left rather than the right of the pattern.
I decided to use the batiks I'd been collecting. I am really happy with how they turned out. I've got a heap of pieces cut out. I just need to sit down and decide on pairings.
For such a complicated looking block, it goes together really easily and without having to be super careful about accuracy. I can't wait to do some more.
