Originally posted by glacerda View PostLooks great. I am new to AccuQuilt and have been trying to figure out which dies might work. Maybe we can share info.
I use the HST dies for many of my quilts and have purchased the HST dies in all the sizes up to 3". Put your two fabrics right sides together before cutting them, it is so nice to have them lined up for sewing. I started using Accuquilt to perfect my 1/4" seam for miniature quilts. It is so nice when blocks finish the correct size.
Square in a Square Star, Square in a Square dies 5 & 6 from the 6" Qube and for the Geese dies 4 & 5 from the 6" Qube
Jacob's Ladder, 8" Qube dies 11.1 & 12.1 but you have to rotary cut the second edge from 11.1 using one of the pieces as a guide.
Churn Dash the 12.1 from the 8" Qube or the die for that size HST.
For the HST on page 17 and 18 for blocks 1 and 2 use die #5 from the 8" Qube or the die for that size HST.
Block 3, die #5 from the 6" Qube or the die for that size HST.
Flying Geese the 6" Qube's dies #4 and #5.
Accuquilt has the 60° triangle and I added it to my collection of dies. Accuquilt calls it Triangle Square and I like how that block can create a circular pattern in a quilt. [Be careful with the 'buy one get one' they take the reduction from the all least expensive not the one that is the same price.]
Happy quilting, Karon

I'm still watching Dee's weekly chats to learn tips and tricks for small blocks- for the next Jen pattern I made the sashing in deep teal, similar to one on Pinterest (Barb Black?). I think it gives a pop of interest and adds some organization to all the tiny piecing. Instead of the patchwork borders in the pattern I'm going to do 6-8" borders in a gray-on-gray print with appliqué flowers and leaves in all the colors in the quilt- see Jen Kingwell Midnight on Oasis and Green Tea quilts for ideas. I've been using fabric from my stash- more modern designs than my usual Kaffe and Tula. But I feel I've hardly made a dent in my stash!
In your first picture there is a quilt hanging behind Long Time Gone, the squares in the gray and the applique corners would also make a great border. Strange where ideas come from.

If you are having problems with piecing the Courthouse Steps block and want to paper piece it but are unsure of how to draw it, thank you Jptousley for the idea of drawing it. Start with a square the size of the finished block. I like to add the 1/4" seam allowance around it to know how far the the pieces need to extend. The pattern tells you how wide to cut the strips and subtract the seam allowance or 1/2". Draw a line that distance, parallel to opposite sides, first picture. Continue to draw lines on opposing sides stopping at the previously draw lines. Picture 2. Check the measurement of the center square to make sure you drew it correctly. After you copy it check to make sure that it is still the correct size.

Greetings from Michigan! I love your blocks, especially the clean white/off white background you’ve selected for each block. It really shows off the block patterns in this quilt. What are you planning for your sashing? Isn’t this a fun quilt!Last edited by jptousley; 03-30-2021, 06:55 AM.

Helena W.
My Afternoon Delight is also a pile of blocks. I was looking for the fabric for the setting triangles and borders when things shut down and I was not able to get to the quilt shops to shop. I had my 2nd Covid shot last week, so I will soon be able to shop. I would really like to put it together!

Thank you, Dee, for the great lesson (Log Cabins & HSTs)! The entire session was very valuable, but I especially enjoyed the segment on accordion piecing HSTs. The directions were very clear and well presented. It’s a fascinating technique and will be such a time saver when making scrappy HSTs. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing it.Jackie
