My hubby bought me a accuquilt cutter and this is my quilt that I was trying it out with. I have wanted to make a red and white quilt so I had some scraps that I was thinking of just cutting and go. Now that I have this much made what do I do ? Like I said I was just cutting and having fun, now that I see it on the wall my sense of order is going haywire. I like nice and clean color order , part of me just wants to sew what I have up because I really don't have the amount of the same fabric in all colors. I was just playing with scraps.

I envy you first off I would die and go to heaven for an accuquilter! Since this is a scrappy block it is one that I would throw in my test blocks to be used in a scrappy sampler quilt someday. A nice project to relieve the winter blues someday. I was would never know that there was something unintended in this block! Beautiful!

Thanks. I appreciate that. I love my cutter. He really spoils me .

Congratulations on your new toy (and supportive hubby)! My eye is catching on the lighter segments and has to work pretty hard to find those squares, so I would replace them with something closer in value to the other reds if possible. Your layout is lovely.

Agree with joe’s mom. But I would first try turning all the pink “sides” to make a pink “box” in the center . Fill in/change out if that’s easy enough. But all reds of the same value would be ideal.

Lucky you! I love the AQ system and just added a baby one to the mix. Easy to use the small dies and even the skinny long dies fit in it too.

Sew... I would take the odd block out and finish the quilt squares as a table topper. The only change to consider is changing the small center squares so they make a four patch with alternating colors. Two pinks with two reds.

I hope you are having a blast.

PS: I love to take scraps and cut them into usable pieces. Easy to make any size blocks from them.

I flipped a couple of blocks and sewed it up. Wish I had read the table runner suggesting earlier . That would have been ideal. Next time. Lol. Will use it as a couch quilt.

Do we get to see your new and improved version?

Will post when it's done . Not that improved though.

Looks great! I like the mix. Just red and white is nice but very stark. This is "softer."
