Picked up the AccuQuilt GO! Chisel die on Saturday and began the process of starting the Quilt-Along at Ebony Love's blog, Quiltpossible. The triangel die, also used on this block, is on backorder. Thus, I cut the triangles with a rotary cutter.
My fabric choices are as shown below: Light and dark neutrals, light and dark green, light and dark blue. I also have chosen a light and dark red. It was not used in Block 1. I will show it at a later date.
My first block is shown below. I am having trouble getting them to measure the suggested nine inches. I have completed two of the necessary eight. Here is close-up of one block and a picture of two side by side. I really love the block. There are lots of possibilities for using this die. I would never have attempted to cut out a chisel block with a template and a rotary cutter.
I will work on the remainder tomorrow and keep trying for a nine inch block.
