Hello Everyone,
I was recently asked to review a brand new book that was created specifically for making quilts with your AccuQuilt Go!! Of course, I jumped at the chance being an owner of the Go! and the Studio Cutter.
The book is entitled Mix & Match Quilts with the AccuQuilt Go! You can purchase this book by clicking here. It is quite comprehensive and has 12 quilts that can be made using your GO!
The set up of the book is great and they have a Fabric Reference Chart. This chart is a very handy reference which shows you how to get the most out of your fabric with minimal waste.
This book focuses on 11 different dies for the GO! cutter.
The project that I was asked to review is the Garden Trellis designed by Julie Weaver.
I like this quilt for several reasons...
1. It is big, I generally do big as they tend to be the most useful quilts.
2. It is easily pieced with simple shapes.
3. Looks great scrappy.
4. The sashing gives you a secondary design... a star.
5. It is fat quarter friendly.
6. If need be, you can rotary cut the entire quilt if you don't own a GO!
7. Plus, you really can adjust this quilt to make it any size you desire smaller or larger.
A few notes: Make sure you visit the other blogs to see which quilts have already been reviewed (you can really get a glimpse of the entire book).
Visit with:
Then make sure you visit tomorrow's blogs...
Now, if you would love to have your own copy... I am giving away the one that I have. You ask me why, because I will be purchasing another one for myself.
This is my way of paying forward all the kindness my readers have given me over the years.
So if you would like to be considered for the drawing, just leave one comment on this post (please make sure you have a way for me to contact you) and I will draw the winner on Monday. The drawing will close midnight on Sunday.
***The giveaway is now closed***
Good luck!
Until Next Time...

Thanks

My daughter just got a GO and could use the inspiration

I just got a GO! for Christmas and need ideas on what to make!
I bought a GO this past summer and absolutely love it. I think it's the biggest innovation in home quilting since the rotary cutter. Thanks for a chance to win this book, it looks fantastic!
Looks interesting.
I just got a GO! for Christmas and haven't used it yet, this would be perfect for to to use to clear my scraps! Thanks for paying it forward!
I also got a GO for Christmas and have not used it yet. Thanks for the giveaway.
I received a GO Cutter for my birthday last year and love it. Would enjoy seeing some new fresh ideas. Thanks for the chance for the giveaway
Oh, this book looks very interesting! Please count me in.
I don't have a GO yet, but I'm planning to buy one!

Thanks for the review. Book looks great.
I would love to win that book. It would only increase my want for the GO.
That is a lovely quilt! I have made that star in the sashing design before but I really like it with the scrappy squares.
Lovely project!
That is so nice of you to give away this copy.
Thank you very much for the review (and for giveaway!)
I finally decided to buy my own GO! and I like to read reviews in this theme.
Nice project! I could really use some help thinking "outside the box" for quilts with the Go.
That's really generous of you. I'm hoping to get a GO! one day soon and would love to win!
I'm having a giveaway over at my blog, too!

We just had a demo of the Go at our quilting meeting last night. I works so slick! I think I may have to invest in one and would love the book to go with it.
Sounds great! Thanks for the chance, Jackie!
I don't have a GO! (yet), but I am interested in those patterns non the less.

thanks for the review...will have to check out the book...or maybe I will win one!
Ok my first comment stated I would love to win the quilt but I meant I would love to win the book. Maybe that mistake will up my chances lol. I don't have a go but would enjoy piecing this quilt. If I don't win this BOOK I will purchase it.
No GO but I can certainly try the designs out.
I would love to have the inspiration from this book. I have liked the quilts I have seen on the blog tour.
From reading the other blog posts in reference to this book using the GO dies, I believe one would want to know which dies the patterns require before purchasing the book...even though it does not sounds like you necessarily need all the dies for every quilt.
Hey Jackie,
I just bought a GO and I would love the chance to win the pattern book to give me some ideas. Thanks for offering up your book.
Beautiful book I love to participate in your drawing.

I love this quilt. I am really wanting to win this book!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great blog.
I would love more ideas on what to do with my Go!
I have the Go and quite a number of dies. I would love to have this book. I particularly love the sashing on this quilt. I could see adapting it for other uses too.
Hi! I don't have a GO! (only in my dreams...) but would love the book, hoping I could just rotary cut. Thanks!
I would love to see the book. I have a Go! and it has been LOTS of fun working with it. My friend was over and cut strips for a scrappy strip quilt over the weekend.
Please put my name in for the book. I just got a GO! Thanks
I treated myself to a go this christmas and have been enjoying making hexagon pieces. Now I need to try the others and make some new quilts.
Debbie
It looks like a great book. I really like the quilt you have showcased.
i always thought of the accuquilt go as "cheating" but not anymore. It's just another way of cutting.
The book is enticing, and the quilt reviewed beautiful!
I love that quilt. The colors are fabulous.
I would love to have the book and hope to one day own a GO! too!
I am so excited about this book. I received a Go! for my B-day back in December (huge surprise, love my hubs!) and already have 4 dies in my rack. Putting together this book was a great idea and giving one away is even better! Thanks!

I don't own a Go, but would love to. The book looks like a good one and it's nice some of the patterns can be rotary cut. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Maybe winning the book will force me to put a GO on my Christmas list! Thanks for the chance!

My GO has just arrived and to have this book for inspiration would really get me moving.
Have used it to cut 4 1/2 squares and Oh so easy and quick. Am loving it.
beautiful quilt. I havent seen the GO over here in the UK yet.
This looks like the perfect system for me and I've been mulling it over...having a book available clinches it! Thanks for sharing!
I have a GO! and would love to have this book to go with it! Thanks for the chance!
I just received a Go cutter for Christmas and am very excited to see a book out there that is for the cutter.
Looks like a great book - thanks for offering it and reviewing it!
Love the GO! Can't wait to see the book. Thanks.
Great quilt. Would love to win this book and try out some of the patterns. I have a Go baby and need some ideas to use it. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love scrappy quilts - I don't have a GO! but my friend does, so maybe she (YOU)could cut shapes for me. Anyway, please enter me in your drawing!

Cherie=and you know where I live :)
This is a very informative review. Thanks. The GO is on my wish list. The quilt you reviewed is one of my favorite patterns. I have not made that large a block. Love it. Thanks for the chance to win.
Jackie, thanks for the giveaway. The quilt in your review is very pretty. Please enter me into the draw. I can use an inspiration "jump start."
Count me in.
Wow, Jackie..so nice of you to giveaway your copy to buy another for yourself. You are kind indeed.
Thank you for this review, it was very helpful. I am looking for books like this that help me use my Go. I have an injury from toxic exposure that affected my brain and has caused problems for my eye hand coordination. The Go solves the problem with not being able to cut accurately anymore. Thank you for doing the giveaway!
Thanks for the review, and the posting to the other blogs. Always looking for patterns that allow me to use my GO.
Awesome! I love my new GO!
Yay! A GO book! this is my favorite quilt so far. Thanks for giving away your book!
It's the object of my affection ! ! !
I LoVe what I can do with my die cut fabrics using my LoVLy GO!
I am well on my way to fulfilling my die wishlist.
mix & match QUILTS is just the tool I could use in selecting my next quilt project.
Hugs,
Gerry
I just bought a "GO" and would LOVE this book so I can learn the right way to make my first quilt! Thanks for the give away!

I NEED this book! I want a GO so bad, I just about can't stand myself.

Thanks

what a neat looking book. since i just received a go cutter for christmas this would probably be a great way for me to get a good jump start on using it.
That's a beautiful looking book! I just got my go cutter so that would be wonderful
Just got my GO! today--if I had a tail I'd wag it lol. My son was here with his SO and her daughter. Ceila is 8, is fascinated by my fabric stash, and was almost as excited as I was to give the GO! a whirl. I think we may have a budding quilter here. This book would be a great way help :)
Even though i do not have a GO! I'd love to win this book, Thanks for the chance :)
I don't have a Go but I sure would like one. Pls count me in the draw!
That's a pretty quilt, and I love that it is big- I don't have room to store little quilts that I can's use! I'd love to have a copy of this book- thanks!
I have a GO, and would love to have the book. Hannah

As a relatively new Go! owner, I'd love to win this book. I love the precision of the cutting, but I'm afraid I need more inspiration!

Well, I wish they were giving away a Go but the book looks really neat too.
Thanks.
Thanks for the chance to win a copy. I'm glad you can use a rotary cutter as a GO is a little out of my reach at the moment.
