Hi everybody, If you read my recent EQ tutorials, it’s no surprise that I made a quilt using the isosceles GO die and 3” finished HST die
The isosceles Go! die is an oldie but goodie
and after reading the comments and comparing my own dies I had, the 3” HST die fits the edges of this die to make a kaleidoscope block.
Here’s my dies ready to go.
This is the layout I had designed in EQ
So I started cutting away with ANY blue and white scraps I had
all sorted in piles of 10
and whites on top, now here I used ANY white, not just solid white
and white corner triangles
all ready to sew
Not too much contrast, but that’s okay
I ironed toward the blues
The only part I pinned was after 4 pieces, so half a block, to have the middle match up
I ended up ironing toward the blue on the back too and doing a twisty thing on the middle
then added the corner triangles
two different blocks all done
and the top is done, kind of fun that some blocks have great contrast, some don’t.
there’s some crazy prints in there
Here it’s all quilted
I did a simple curved lines from corner to corner
then a loopy design on the inner border and leaves on the outer border
and the backing, I had a lot of this dotted fabric and it was JUST enough for the whole quilt!
a fun floral blue fabric for binding.
when I first got this die I made this quilt with a FQ pack
I quilted a freeform rose all over pattern on it
If you search on pinterest there’s a lot of cute quilts there
don’t know if this is more of an equilateral triangle, but cute anyways
and a riley blake one
I like thisthis idea and I could see how a bunch of long strips sewn together and then folded on the die would be SEW easy to cut out
I like this idea, similar to mine above, but this one is better
love this too
another fun one, sort of opposite of mine
Here’s my accuquilt pintererest board

What a cute new quilt. I, too, like the low contrast mixed in. Good scrap buster, I bet.
I love your quilt. I will have to add these 2 dies to my christmas wish list.
wow…talk about inspiration…you got it!!
a great quilt, I do not have the accuquilt machine but suppose this can be done without it just have to be very careful when cutting the triangles out
The isosceles quilts are so pretty. I can see how the accuquilt die can really make the cutting easy and quick.
CUTE CUTE CUTE.You're amazing as always
how did you sew this? did you stop at a 1/4" at the point?
