It's been a minute or two since I've had time to post - what with holidays, winter storms that take out power and the net, then playing catch-up w/Spring Cleaning in the quilting studio and seed starting... barely had to catch my breath but... FINALLY catching up on the 'A Quilting Life Block of the Month'... and just lovin' these blocks!
I chose a patriotic colorway from my stash for this mystery, to help Celebrate & Commemorate Our Country's 250th Anniversary!
Here's my March block:

Didn't this one turn out great? And while the original directions are good, I really enjoy converting most quilt patterns via AccuQuiltable software - allowing me to take full advantage of my growing library of AccuQuilt dies!
This block lends itself nicely to the AccuQuilt GO! 12" cube. Notice how the printable from the software states which cubes to use:
| Which dies - including cubes |
| Fabric requirements |
A nice pic of the finished block is also included in the rendering by AccuQuiltable Software:

Because EVERY piece of this block is precision cut w/dies, assembly is a breeze and the back presses up so nicely - almost a pretty as the front!

The rest of my blocks from the 'A Quilting Life Block of the Month' have ALL been cut w/AccuQuilt dies - each and EVERY one turned out awesome!
Here's April:
| I liked this block soooo much - I created it in two different sizes ;-) Creating different sized blocks is a breeze w/AccuQuiltable software! |

Now that I'm all caught up w/A Quilting Life Block of the Month - back to the quilting studio for more Spring Cleaning & Organizing!
