If, like me, you find cutting with a rotary cutter something that can cause you pain if you do it for too extended a period then some kind of die cutting system is probably on your wish list. Having treated myself to the strip cutters and some other dies a couple of years back I can truthfully say the Accuquilt dies are used in each and every quilt that I make. However, I can also see that it might be something that you think is limited as each die can only cut one shape. This series is intended to show that the Accuquilt Qube system which starts off with 8 basic shapes has the potential to make literally thousands of blocks.
This block is the second in the series.
Since it is only half square triangles and squares which match then it is one which you can make in two separate sizes from the one Qube.
The size block created is dependent on both the Qube set used and on whether the choice is taken to use the larger squares and half square triangles in the set (dies 1 and 3) or the smaller versions (dies 2 and 5).

Here is my You Tube video of the entire process
