To learn to use my machine and to try out my Accuquilt Go, I first made this simple pillow cover from a fat quarter bundle. The stripey fabrics go with the decor in my parents' family room where they have decorated with souvenirs from their trips to Peru and Mexico. The solid fabrics are shimmery, so this pillow cover is prettier in person.
I used the Accuquilt 2 1/2" Strip Cutter (#55014) for this project. One nice thing about this die is that it does not cut the short ends of the fabric, so you if fold the fabric right, you can easily cut very long, perfect strips with very little waste. Also, you can easily stack several layers of most fabrics, saving a lot of time, while improving accuracy.
