New AccuQuilt Dies to Inspire Your Next Quilt: 4 Creative Dies, Patterns & Project Ideas

Whether you're creating a special gift, designing a nursery quilt, celebrating Australian wildlife or putting a fresh spin on a traditional quilt block, the latest AccuQuilt dies give you more shapes, more creative options and more ways to make your next project uniquely yours.

The new GO! Berry Medley Die by Chris Marchini, GO! Kangaroo Die by Janine Lecour, GO! Baby Zoo Animals Die and GO! Log Cabin – 9" Finished Die each bring something different to your cutting collection.

From colourful appliqué and Australian-inspired projects to baby quilts and classic patchwork, let's explore what you can create with these new additions.

Four New Dies. Endless Quilting Possibilities.

Each of these dies has a different creative purpose.

The exciting part?

These dies don't have to be limited to one project or one style of quilting.

You can change the fabric, colour palette, block arrangement and finishing techniques to create something completely different.

1. GO! Berry Medley Die by Chris Marchini

Add a Little Berry Sweetness to Your Quilting

Bring colour and playful appliqué into your next project with the GO! Berry Medley Die by Chris Marchini.

This die is perfect for quilters who enjoy nature-inspired designs, colourful appliqué and projects that can move beyond traditional quilt blocks.

Use the berry-inspired shapes to create decorative motifs or combine them with your favourite quilt blocks.

What Can You Create?

The possibilities include:

• Berry-themed quilts
• Summer quilts
• Table runners
• Cushion covers
• Placemats
• Wall hangings
• Kitchen décor
• Tote bags
• Tea towels
• Fabric baskets
• Seasonal decorations

Berry Garden Quilt

Create a quilt featuring a repeating berry garden.

Use a simple background and position different berry motifs across individual blocks.

Colour idea:

Cream + Red + Green + Pink

Or create a modern interpretation with:

White + Berry Red + Sage + Charcoal

You can repeat the same arrangement throughout the quilt or change each block to create a more organic garden effect.

Berry Picnic Table Runner

Give your summer table a handmade touch.

Create a simple table runner and add repeating berry appliqué along the centre.

Pair the shapes with:

• Gingham
• Florals
• Solids
• Small-scale prints
• Linen-look fabrics

This would make a lovely project for entertaining or a handmade gift.

Berry Kitchen Collection

Why stop at one project?

Create a matching collection featuring:

Table Runner + Placemats + Tea Towels + Pot Holders + Apron

Use the same berry motifs and colour palette throughout the collection for a coordinated look.

Berry & Embroidery

The Berry Medley Die can also inspire projects that combine appliqué and embroidery.

Use embroidery to add additional details such as:

• Decorative outlines
• Stems
• Leaves
• Names
• Initials
• Flourishes

This creates another opportunity to personalise your project.

2. GO! Kangaroo Die by Janine Lecour

Bring an Australian Touch to Your Quilting

Few motifs feel more Australian than the kangaroo.

The GO! Kangaroo Die by Janine Lecour gives you the opportunity to bring an unmistakably Australian character to quilts, children's projects, gifts and home décor.

Instead of creating another generic animal project, use this die to tell an Australian story through fabric.

Create an Australian-Themed Quilt

Imagine a quilt featuring kangaroos surrounded by Australian-inspired colours and motifs.

Try an Outback Palette

Terracotta + Ochre + Sand + Brown + Cream

Or a Bush Palette

Eucalyptus Green + Olive + Cream + Tan

Or a Nursery Palette

Sage + Dusty Pink + Cream + Soft Blue

The same kangaroo shape can look completely different depending on your fabric choices.

Little Aussie Baby Quilt

The Kangaroo Die is particularly suited to creating a special baby or children's quilt.

Create a repeating pattern of kangaroos across the quilt and personalise the design with the child's name.

You could also add:

Name + Birth Date + Weight + Time

to create a keepsake that can be treasured for years.

Kangaroo Nursery Wall Hanging

Don't want to make a full quilt?

Create a smaller nursery wall hanging.

Place one large kangaroo in the centre and surround it with Australian-inspired decorative elements.

Add a message such as:

“Welcome Little One”

or personalise it with the baby's name.

Australian Animal Adventure Quilt

Take the concept further by combining the Kangaroo Die with other suitable AccuQuilt animal and nature dies.

Create a quilt featuring an Australian landscape with:

• Kangaroo
• Native animals
• Birds
• Leaves
• Trees
• Flowers

This could become a fun children's quilt while also introducing young ones to Australian wildlife.

Kangaroo Gift Ideas

The kangaroo doesn't have to live on a quilt.

Add the appliqué to:

• Tote bags
• Baby blankets
• Cushion covers
• Bibs
• Children's clothing
• Nursery baskets
• Wall décor

A small kangaroo appliqué can turn a simple handmade gift into something distinctly Australian.

3. GO! Baby Zoo Animals Die

Bring the Zoo to Your Sewing Room

If you're looking for a die designed with little ones in mind, the GO! Baby Zoo Animals Die is full of possibilities.

Instead of using one animal throughout a project, create an entire zoo.

Create a Baby Zoo Quilt

Imagine a quilt where every block introduces a different animal.

Create individual blocks for:

Lion → Giraffe → Monkey → Elephant → Zebra → More Zoo Friends

Use a different fabric palette for each animal or keep the entire quilt coordinated.

Pattern Idea: Going to the Zoo Baby Quilt

Use the Baby Zoo Animals Die as the foundation for a colourful baby quilt inspired by a trip to the zoo.

Create animal blocks and arrange them around simple geometric quilt blocks.

Design concept:

Animal Block + Plain Block + Animal Block + Plain Block

Repeat the arrangement across the quilt.

This creates breathing space between the appliqué motifs while allowing each animal to stand out.

Create a Grow-With-Me Wall Chart

A nursery wall chart is another creative way to use animal appliqué.

Create a vertical project featuring different animals at different heights.

You could personalise the chart with:

“How Tall Am I?”

Add measurements so the project becomes both decorative and interactive.

Baby Shower Gift Ideas

The Baby Zoo Animals Die can be used to create thoughtful handmade gifts.

Consider:

• Baby quilts
• Cot quilts
• Burp cloths
• Cushions
• Nursery wall décor
• Fabric baskets
• Baby blankets
• Personalised wall hangings

Add the baby's name for an extra-special finishing touch.

4. GO! Log Cabin – 9" Finished Die

A Classic Quilt Block With Endless Possibilities

While the Berry Medley, Kangaroo and Baby Zoo Animals dies bring playful appliqué to your projects, the GO! Log Cabin – 9" Finished Die brings you back to one of quilting's most beloved traditional blocks.

The Log Cabin block is a classic for a reason.

It can look traditional, modern, dramatic, subtle or completely unexpected depending on how you arrange the blocks.

The 9" finished size also gives you plenty of flexibility for quilts and other projects.

Start With a Traditional Log Cabin Quilt

For a classic look, use two contrasting colour families.

For example:

Light + Dark

Arrange the blocks so that the colour placement creates the traditional Log Cabin effect.

This makes a beautiful timeless quilt that can work in almost any home.

Turn Log Cabin Into a Modern Quilt

Want something less traditional?

Use a bold colour palette.

Try:

Black + White + One Accent Colour

or:

Navy + Cream + Terracotta

or:

Sage + Mustard + Cream

The simplicity of the Log Cabin block allows your fabric choices to become the star.

Create Circles, Waves & New Shapes

One of the most exciting things about Log Cabin quilting is that the blocks can be rearranged to create completely different visual effects.

Instead of simply placing blocks in straight rows, experiment with arrangements that create:

• Circles
• Arcs
• Waves
• Spirals
• Diamonds
• Geometric patterns

A traditional block can suddenly look completely contemporary.

Log Cabin Throw Quilt

Create a smaller throw using the 9" finished blocks.

This is a great option if you want to practise different layouts without committing to a full-sized quilt.

Try arranging the blocks around a central square.

Then rotate each block to create a circular movement.

Log Cabin Cushion Covers

You don't always need dozens of blocks.

Create one or four Log Cabin blocks and turn them into statement cushion covers.

This is a great way to introduce a traditional quilting technique into contemporary home décor.

Log Cabin Table Runner

Create a long arrangement of Log Cabin blocks for a table runner.

Use coordinating fabrics for a sophisticated look or contrasting colours for a bold statement.

You can also change the orientation of individual blocks to create movement along the runner.

Mix the New Dies With Your Existing AccuQuilt Collection

One of the biggest opportunities with these new dies is that you don't have to use them independently.

Think of them as additions to your existing AccuQuilt library.

Log Cabin + Baby Zoo

Create a baby quilt where Log Cabin blocks provide the geometric foundation and Baby Zoo Animals become the feature appliqué.

Concept:

Log Cabin Block → Zoo Animal → Log Cabin Block → Zoo Animal

This combination would work particularly well for a modern nursery quilt.

Log Cabin + Kangaroo

Create an Australian-themed quilt using Log Cabin blocks as the background and kangaroo appliqué as the feature.

The geometric blocks create structure while the kangaroo provides the personality.

Pattern Concept:

Outback Log Cabin Quilt

Use:

• Sand
• Terracotta
• Rust
• Eucalyptus
• Cream

Then add kangaroo appliqué to selected blocks.

Log Cabin + Berry Medley

Create a fresh botanical-inspired quilt.

Use Log Cabin blocks as the main structure and place Berry Medley appliqué on selected blocks.

Pattern Concept:

Berry Garden Log Cabin Quilt

Use green and berry tones to create a garden-inspired palette.

This could also work beautifully as a table runner or wall hanging.

Log Cabin + Baby Zoo Animals

Create a children's quilt that combines traditional patchwork with playful appliqué.

Use a neutral Log Cabin block and bright animal appliqué.

This is a great way to introduce classic quilting techniques into a modern children's project.

All Four Dies Together

Want to create something really different?

You can even use all four new dies in one creative project.

The “Quilter's Garden & Adventure” Quilt

Create a large quilt divided into themed sections.

Section 1 — Berry Garden

Use GO! Berry Medley appliqué.

Section 2 — Australian Adventure

Use GO! Kangaroo appliqué.

Section 3 — Baby Zoo

Use GO! Baby Zoo Animals.

Section 4 — Classic Patchwork

Use GO! Log Cabin – 9" Finished blocks.

Connect the four sections using a consistent colour palette and border.

The result would be a quilt that combines:

Appliqué + Traditional Patchwork + Animals + Nature
