Hey AccuQuilters! This is Lori from Lori Miller Designs. I am so excited to introduce a new project with AccuQuilt, Electric Quilt, and Lori Miller Designs! Since so many quilters have enjoyed my EQ8 Add-ons for AccuQuilt, the Electric Quilt Company and AccuQuilt have partnered with me to revamp my block downloads and make them official EQ products sold on both of their websites!
If you have not used EQ8 Quilt Design Software, it is an amazing product that gives you the ability to design your own quilts, add your choice of quilt blocks and fabrics, and make beautiful, stunning projects.
A copy of the EQ8 Quilt design software is required to use these block libraries.
My EQ8 Add-ons for AccuQuilt GO! Qube® are all blocks drawn to use the shapes in the Mix & Match, plus Corner and Angles Companion dies. Included with the blocks are PDF Resources that allow you to build your blocks by the numbers, the shape numbers on the GO! Qube die sets.
If you are new to my EQ8 Add-ons for AccuQuilt, let me share a little about them.
Back in 2019 when I first started this adventure, I just wanted to have my own library of blocks in EQ8 that could be easily cut out with AccuQuilt dies. I loved designing my own quilts and EQ8 made it so helpful to see my fabric choices. When I combined my quilt designs with the accuracy and time savings of cutting out the pieces with my AccuQuilt die cutting machine and dies, I was thrilled.
The convenience of designing with quilt blocks that are so easily cut out with your AccuQuilt tools makes cutting, sewing, and creating beautiful quilts so easy. These block libraries were so convenient to use, I wanted to share them with other quilters and started offering them to all of you and thankfully, you became fans too. Now you have even more terrific reasons to add these to your collection! With this partnership, the original GO! Qube products have been completely revamped and re-released in a new format.
- They are easier to use as the blocks will install directly into your EQ8 Block Library
- PDF Resources are included and they install into your My EQ8 > Documentation folder so they are easy to find
- There is a new detailed guide (PDF) on how to use the blocks with your EQ software and how to use them with any size GO! Qube®
- Block notecards now include helpful tips and information for the blocks
- Many of the libraries will come with quilt designs included for inspiration and to spark your creativity
This is the perfect mixture of creativity and precision.
The first product is available now. The GO! Qube Mix & Match Plus Corners and Angles features over 216 library blocks which are the same blocks you see in the AccuQuilt GO! Qube brochure. Later in November, we will release 5 additional GO! Qube Add-ons with the AccuQuilt Block on Board (BOB) libraries coming in 2025.
Stay tuned for these new products to be released at AccuQuilt.com and ElectricQuilt.com.
