Discover versatile fabric cutting dies, inspiring quilt patterns and Christmas project ideas to help you choose your next AccuQuilt favourites.
Turn Your Black Friday Wishlist into Your Next Creative Project
Every quilter has a few ideas waiting to become their next project. Perhaps it's a colourful patchwork quilt, a handmade Christmas decoration or a beautiful wall hanging for your home.
But before the sewing begins, there's the fabric cutting to think about.
With the right AccuQuilt cutting dies, preparing consistent fabric shapes for patchwork, appliqué and other sewing projects becomes easier, giving you more time to enjoy creating.
As Black Friday 2026 approaches, it's a great opportunity to explore new dies, revisit your favourite quilting patterns and decide which tools deserve a place in your collection.
At AccuQuilt Australia, you'll find GO! cutting dies for traditional quilt blocks, fabric strips, appliqué designs and seasonal projects.
Rather than filling your wishlist with products you may never use, why not start with the quilts and handmade gifts you'd love to make?
Here are seven AccuQuilt die ideas worth exploring, followed by some festive patterns that could inspire your next purchase.
1. GO! Strip Cutters: The Dies You'll Reach for Again and Again
Fabric strips are a familiar part of many quilting projects, whether you're preparing binding, borders, sashing or strip-based patchwork.
The GO! Strip Cutter-2½" (2" Finished) 3 Strips is designed to cut consistent fabric strips, making it a practical addition to your quilting toolkit.
Its angled guidelines also allow you to explore other shapes, including squares and diamonds.
What Can You Make?
Think colourful strip quilts, neatly finished borders or coordinated binding for your favourite patchwork designs.
If you regularly work with the same strip width, having a compatible cutting die can simplify fabric preparation.
Wishlist tip: Always check the cut width and finished width against your pattern before selecting a strip cutter.
2. GO! Small Strip Cutter: A Handy Addition for Scrappy Quilting
If you love making the most of your leftover fabrics, the GO! Small Strip Cutter-2½" (2" Finished) is another die worth exploring.
This compact strip cutter is designed for smaller cutting tasks and can help prepare consistent strips for patchwork projects.
Its angled guidelines also support additional geometric cutting options.
What Can You Make?
Gather leftover fabrics from previous quilts and experiment with a scrappy patchwork design.
Try combining coordinating colours, prints or fabric collections to create a project that feels completely your own.
Wishlist tip: If you already own a larger strip cutter, consider whether the smaller die would make your regular cutting tasks more convenient.

3. GO! Qube Mix & Match: Explore Different Quilt Block Designs
For quilters who enjoy traditional patchwork, the GO! Qube Mix & Match range offers plenty of creative possibilities.
A GO! Qube Mix & Match Block set contains eight coordinated geometric cutting dies that can be combined to create different quilt block designs.
Instead of purchasing individual shapes for every new project, you can experiment with different layouts using the numbered dies within your Qube.
What Can You Make?
A sampler quilt is a lovely way to explore different block combinations.
Choose several compatible patterns, experiment with fabric colours and arrange your finished blocks into a quilt that showcases a variety of designs.
Project inspiration: For a festive twist, explore the GO! Qube 6" Holiday Medley Throw Quilt Pattern, which combines the GO! Qube Mix & Match 6" Block with the GO! Holiday Medley die and specified strip cutters.

Already own a GO! Qube Mix & Match set?
A compatible GO! Qube Companion Set could be a useful next addition to your quilting collection.
Companion Sets introduce additional shapes designed to work with the corresponding Qube size, allowing you to explore more quilt block combinations.
For example, the GO! Qube 8" Companion Set-Corners includes additional geometric dies that complement the matching 8" Mix & Match set.

5. GO! Geometric Dies: Build Beautiful Patchwork Blocks
Sometimes the simplest shapes offer the most creative flexibility.
Squares, triangles and other geometric pieces are used in many traditional and modern quilt designs.
AccuQuilt Australia's GO! geometric cutting dies allow you to choose individual shapes that suit your preferred patchwork patterns.
If you already have a particular quilt block in mind, an individual die may be a practical addition to your existing collection.
What Can You Make?
Try a classic patchwork quilt with repeating geometric blocks, or experiment with different fabric placements to create a fresh design.
Project inspiration: Explore the GO! Qube 6" Holiday Medley Throw Quilt Pattern to see how squares, triangles and other geometric shapes can work alongside festive appliqué.
Wishlist tip: Check the finished shape measurements and seam allowance information before selecting a geometric die.

6. GO! Appliqué Dies: Add Personality to Your Projects
If you enjoy decorative quilting, GO! appliqué dies can bring another creative dimension to your sewing.
AccuQuilt Australia's appliqué range includes shapes for decorative fabric projects, seasonal designs and personalised creations.
These dies help prepare consistent appliqué shapes that can be arranged and stitched onto suitable fabric backgrounds.
What Can You Make?
Try adding decorative motifs to a wall hanging, a quilt block or a handmade gift.
For a seasonal project, the GO! Holiday Medley die includes festive shapes such as holly, an evergreen tree and a snowflake.
Project inspiration: Follow the Fabric Christmas Tree Decorations tutorial for a creative way to use the Holiday Medley die beyond traditional appliqué.
Wishlist tip: Look for appliqué dies that could work across several projects, rather than choosing a design for only one occasion.
7. GO! Block on Board Dies: Discover a New Quilt Block
Have you been wanting to try a more detailed quilt block design?
AccuQuilt's GO! Block on Board (BOB) Dies are designed to cut the fabric shapes required for particular quilt blocks.
Rather than choosing several separate dies for one design, a BOB die brings the relevant cutting shapes together on a single die board.
This can help simplify fabric preparation for your chosen block.
What Can You Make?
Choose a quilt block you've always wanted to try and use it as the centrepiece of a wall hanging or repeat it across a larger quilt.
Wishlist tip: Review the finished block size, fabric cutting instructions and cutter compatibility before purchasing a Block on Board die.
