I’ve been asked which AccuQuilt Block on Board, or BOB dies, are the most versatile. Such a great question! When I buy a die, I’m not usually interested in a one trick pony. They have their place, but I want something that will do many things. So here are my top picks.
First of all is this 12” GO! Big Churn Dash die. Obviously, you can use it to make churn dashes, but with these basic shapes, you can do so much more.
Here are a few examples:
The AccuQuilt Storm at Sea BOB is another great block! This one has infinite possibilities!
This shows sizes of sections of the block. You can see that you can make two different sizes of Economy blocks and Diamond in a rectangle blocks.
Here are some examples.
But there is so much more! check out 5he individual finished sizes.
So now you can see that you can make 1 1/2” by 3” finished flying geese blocks using shapes E and G. You can make 1 1/2” HSTs using Shape E or 3” HSTs using Shape H.
You could use Shape B to make something like this:
You could use shapes C and F to make a four patch like this:
Here is another one that can be very useful.
Let’s break it down.
Shapes C and D can be used to make Lemoyne Stars like this:
Shapes A, B, and D can be used o make star blocks like this:
You could use Shapes B and D to make a border or a row quilt like this.
This would be fun to do with scraps.
I hope this post was helpful. It may at least give you some insight into how I look at dies.
