AccuQuilt Qube Quick Reference Guide 2.0 Now Available

Posted in accuquilt by

The All New AccuQuilt Qube Quick Reference Guide 2.0 is now available! I am very excited to share this updated edition of my very popular AccuQuilt Qube Quick Reference Guide and have included some great updates.

The Quick Reference Guide contains all the information you need at your fingertips for every available Qube to use when designing, cutting and sewing your Qube blocks to make a beautiful quilt.

First, I have added all of the quick reference for the 16″ Qube. So now you have the 4″, 5″, 6″, 8″, 9″, 10″, 12″, and the 16″ information all available in one place.

Each Qube has detailed information on all of the Mix & Match Shapes. including a visual reference on how the shapes fit together. There is a diagram of the shape, the size and SKU number for each shape, and new in this edition – GO! dies sold separately that are equivalent to the Qube shapes. We still have our information for cutting the shapes including strip size, fan fold information, number of shapes on a strip and number of shapes on the die along with helpful information for cutting the shapes.

And of course, all of the same great information is available for the Companion Angles Shapes and Companion Corners Shapes as well.

A brand new BONUS in this edition is a list of GO! Dies that were sold separately that are equivalent to the Qube shapes that are available. If you have some of the earlier value dies, individual dies or dies that come in multiples, this list will help you figure out what matches with the Qube shapes.

We still have the BONUS Grid information for designing more than four patch blocks, this allows you to expand your Qube to create nine patch, five patch , sixteen patch and more blocks. This reference page provides you with the sizes that the Qube will create when you expand the grid to create even more great blocks with your dies.

Finally, we have an updated BONUS strip cutter guide. I use a lot of strips combined with my Qube blocks for borders, sashing and binding. It is a great resource when figuring out your quilt and fabric requirements.

This complete AccuQuilt Qube Quick Reference Guide is available as a PDF file ready for download in my Etsy Shop.
