Accuquilt new dies
Rec'd an email about these....one is a wonky heart (ugly, in my opinion) and the other a spool--which I saw demoed by EB on YouTube. I think that die is designed wrong...pieces share cutting blades, I think would make it hard to cut individual pieces...again my personal opinion. But I do know I won't be buying either one....anyone else see these...

I didn't care for the wonky heart die at all. Not because it was wonky, I don't like corners on hearts. The spool die is too complicated for such an easy block to make. I don't understand their reasoning for picking new dies. Why not the Cleopatra's Fan pattern? That would have been a best seller.

I just got some new dies on Ebay- really good prices, much lower than the Accuquilt site. I'm new at this but am already getting addicted. I have so much fun using the cutter!
I saw a great tutorial on Youtube for the Spools block- can't remember who though.

Love my cutter, too. My quilts look straighter to me than they used to. It's making me somewhat impatient with some of the charity quilts I quilt, though. Unless it's one of my pre-accuquilt quilts!
