AccuQuilt GO! Hexagon Die - 1", 1 1/2", 2 1/2" Sides
Item #: AQ55011
The AccuQuilt GO! Hexagon die cuts perfect shapes quickly, every time.
Traditional hexagon quilts like Grandmother's Flower Garden are absolutely beautiful, but it takes a whole lot of hexagons to make one quilt and just thinking about cutting all those shapes out can make your wrists ache.
This die cuts three sizes of hexagon from multiple layers of fabric. Try them on a variety of fabrics and let your imagination roam!
Why Quilters Love the GO! Hexagons Die:
• Hexagons are perfect for scrappy quilts, ‘I Spy’ quilts with novelty fabric or for making traditional hexagon quilts, such as Grandmother’s Flower Garden.
• No templates! No measuring! The GO! Hexagons die includes three hexagon sizes that are difficult to cut by hand.
• Great value! Get multiple hexagon sizes for the price of one GO! Hexagon die.
• Get even more design options and avoid the dreaded ‘Y-seam’ when you combine AQ55165 AccuQuilt GO! Half Hexagons.
• Imagine the time you will save cutting! This die cuts up to six layers of cotton fabric to get 18 hexagons (6 ea. in 3 different sizes) in one pass thru the cutter.
• GO! Hexagons includes 1/4" seam allowances for easy alignment and piecing.
• A great way to use up scraps.
