Tutorial: Faux Wood

If you’ve been quilting for a while, you’ve probably heard of the magic that is the AccuQuilt GO! cutting system. It’s one of those tools that makes you wonder why you ever spent hours cutting pieces by hand, squinting over rotary rulers and hoping your points lined up. Well, AccuQuilt has taken things up a notch with the GO! BOB (Block on Board) Collector’s Edition 2, and let me tell you, this one’s a real game-changer.

This limited-edition box set is a curated collection of some of AccuQuilt’s most popular Block on Board dies—dies that let you cut an entire quilt block in one go. No fuss, no measuring, no cutting piece by piece. Just layer your fabric, roll it through, and you’ve got perfect pieces every single time.

The Collector’s Edition 2 includes a variety of classic block designs that most quilters either already love or have on their “must try” list. These are versatile, timeless blocks that can be made scrappy, modern, or traditional depending on your fabric stash.

Why Quilters Are Obsessed with BOB Dies

1. Accuracy – Forget wonky seams and off-kilter points. The precision of the dies means everything fits together like a dream.

2. Speed – Cutting blocks that once took an hour now take minutes. That’s more time for the fun part: stitching and playing with color.

3. Fabric Efficiency – The dies are designed to maximize fabric use and reduce waste (a big win when you’re cutting into your good stuff).

4. Collector’s Appeal – Because this is a collector’s edition, the dies come packaged beautifully and include exclusive options not always available individually.

A Peek Inside the Box

Without spoiling every detail, here’s what makes this set stand out:

• Multiple Classic Block Designs – Think stars, pinwheels, and versatile geometric layouts you’ll return to again and again.

• Instructions & Inspiration – Each die comes with clear guides and suggested layouts, making it approachable even if you’ve never used BOB before.

• Keepsake Packaging – This isn’t just practical, it’s gift-worthy. A beautiful box you’ll actually want to keep on your shelf.

Who Should Invest in the Collector’s Edition?

• Beginners – If you’ve been curious about quilting but intimidated by the cutting, this makes life so much easier.

• Busy Quilters – If time is your biggest hurdle, BOB dies let you move from idea to block in record time.

• Perfectionists (in a good way) – If accuracy matters to you, this is the tool to keep your blocks sharp and professional.

• Gift Hunters – Honestly, if you’re looking for a quilting gift, this is as close to a “safe bet” as it gets.

The AccuQuilt GO! BOB Collector’s Edition 2 isn’t just another quilting gadget—it’s an investment in speed, accuracy, and pure creative joy. With blocks ready to cut in one pass, you’ll spend less time hunched over rulers and more time piecing together the quilts you’ve been dreaming about.
