What is "fussy cutting"? It is when you choose to cut a specific pattern/object from your fabric. I absolutely love to fussy cut my fabric! I especially love to fussy cut the center of my blocks as it adds so much interest to your project!
I love to fussy cut my fabric AND use my AccuQuilt so be sure to check out my full blog post on the AccuQuilt Blog (HERE) including a little "how to" make your own 6" Sawtooth Star blocks AND a 18" Sawtooth Star Pillow.
Supplies: Gather up your supplies then go the AccuQuilt Blog to start cutting and sewing!
- AccuQuilt Cutting Machine: GO! Me, GO!, or GO! Big
- GO! Qube Mix & Match 6" Block
- Pattern fabric for fussy cutting. *I used I Spy Panel (Spring) by Ann Kelle
- (9) 10" squares for star points *I used Modern Classics by Violet Craft
- 1/2 yard white background fabric
- 3/4 yard backing fabric
- 22" x 22" batting

Below are some recent projects that I was careful to align the fabric pattern with the cutting edge of the die before cutting. You can click on the die name to see which die(s) I used.
GO! Drunkard's Path 7" Die
