Diamond in a square quilt block {a mini tutorial} and a giveaway!

 I love my Accuquilt GO! It's such a handy tool!

I shared last week how I prep my bindings using the Accuquilt GO!

Now I've made a diamond in a square quilt block using the Accuquilt GO!

Materials needed:

Accuquilt GO! cutter

Value Die

1- approx 5" square

1- 2"x6" strip of material

Using your value die you will lay the blue print on the 1/2 square triangle section of the die. Then lay your ivory material on the 4 1/2" square portion of the die.

Place the cutting mat on the die and roll through the Accuquilt GO! cutter.

I like how the scraps were pretty minimal.

My cut pieces.

For one block you will need four 1/2 square triangles and 1 4 1/2" square.

Now sew two of the triangles onto your background, as shown in the image above.

Trim away excess material.

Press the block open.

Sew the other two 1/2 square triangles onto the block, as shown in the image above.

Trim away excess materials and press. Creating one 4 1/2" diamond in a square quilt block.

I love the Accuquilt GO! It's so much fun to sew with PERFECTLY cut materials!
