Hello Everyone,
I wanted to share with you my latest creation. I used Terri Atkinsons latest fabric line called Paisley Party and the free pattern download from the Red Rooster website. This entire quilt was cut on my Accuquilt in just a little over a half an hour!!!!
The first pictures shows the nicely cut and stacked piles of squares and rectangles.
The four patches were originally 2.5 inch strips (cut on the AccuQuilt). I then strip pieced and subcut them to create the 4 patches. 
Here is half of the quilt already pieced. I have to say it was truly a dream to piece it because everything was cut exactly the same size. The quilt top lays perfectly flat. Now of course, I had to factor in my accuracy with my 1/4 inch seams. But I have to say, I try to be very consistent.
As a side note Em had e-mailed me and asked if the AccuQuilt does well with scraps. The answer is YES. The next post you will see the above quilt finished. It is on my quilting machine now. And you will also see another little quilt top that I created with the scraps!! It was fun!Anyway, I am getting back into the swing of things for the new year with my customers and have been updating my gallery. Check it out!
I hope that you all are not as cold as last week. I know some of you are in warmer places and yes I am jealous. Send some warmth our way, please.
Until next time,

Oh this is bright and cheery. Everything around here is so dull and gloomy with winter...it is so refreshing to see cheerful quilts! This looks just perfect! I can't wait to see the finished product.
Love it! Love the pattern, Love the precision, Love the fabric!
Great quilt and pattern! We need something bright and cheery to get through the rest of winter. :)
WOW I love how precise everything is! The fabrics look like just the right amount of spring for this time of year :) Looks great!
Okay... I need AccuQuilt!!! Your quilt is so precise! And such pretty colors :o)
I love your work!

Greetings from Santiago de Chile.
Love the fabrics and pattern. I love how you showed what your accuquilt can do!
I have this fabric! Not yardage, though, just some fat quarters. It is just beautiful fabric, isn't it?
You know, the cutting may have helped your squares, but you still have to be a pretty good "sewer" to make those perfect squares like that! Good job! This quilt is gonna be CUTE! I like the pattern.
This is going to be so pretty!
I like the Paisley Party fabrics you have used. You are very quick getting this quilt made ... the Accuquilt sounds fantastic.

Wow - that's fantastic! Looks like a dream to go together. Will have to check out the links...
Thanks!
I like the pattern for this quilt. Isn't it great to have accuracy in the cutting? That is where a lot of people go wrong so you can help them now.
The word verification for me is outscary. It usually isn't sensible words.
I love that fabric. I got a little pack of them from Spring market. I love it! I made a little yo-yo quilt from them. I love your quilt, Jackie!
Love it, love it, love it...

Love the fabric. Love everything about it. I might need to make this one.
How fun to see that you're having a good time with your accuquilt. I love those pretty fabrics and the pattern looks perfect for them!

cutting is definitely my downfall when i'm making a quilt from a pattern. i may have to give this a try!
This is so pretty. I need to work with something so cheery and bright. I've been working with homespuns and they're so dark and masculine. I love the accuquilt cuts, do any dies come with it? Tell us more!

Oh that's such a cute quilt--I love that fabric, especially the paisley.

Hi Jackie Love your bright colours. I should experiment more , I shy away from brights. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Those fabrics are gorgeous! I cant wait to see it all come together :)
