Spring is in the Air and AccuQuilt is in my quilting dreams!

I hope you have taken a moment to vote for your favorite quilt block designs in the AccuQuilt Barn Quilt Design contest.  From my perspective, every entry is a winner.  There are some amazing designs that would create beautiful quilt blocks and I'd definitely be proud to have their design on my barn (if I had a barn).   I also believe the possibilities of designing a spectacular quilt with these blocks are endless.
If you have not yet voted for your favorite entries in the AccuQuilt Barn Quilt Design Contest, you have until April 19th to vote.  Like all voting opportunities, your vote matters.  So I do hope you'll take time to review the entries and vote for your favorites.  It really doesn't take long to vote.

I've heard from several quilters that would like to have access to an AccuQuilt, but feel that can't afford it.  While I am not a sale person for AccuQuilt, I do want to heighten awareness of some ideas that may help some of you get access to cutting with an AccuQuilt:

- first, I do like the idea of every quilt guild having an AccuQuilt product to allow members to use.  Likewise for quilt stores.

- I've also seen many examples of where quilting friends have gone in together to buy an AccuQuilt product and I think this is a great way to share the fun.

- I love the idea of every quilter winning an AccuQuilt.  Thus, I highly encourage everyone to sign up on Facebook and become a fan of AccuQuilt on Facebook.  Every Friday AccuQuilt has giveaways on Facebook and lately the winners have received a free GO! Baby.  And, tomorrow is Fun Friday where you could win a wonderful prize from AccuQuilt.  Just "like" AccuQuilt on Facebook and visit their page every Friday to hear specifics about their weekly giveaway.

Lastly, I hope you are having fun in the Spring theme AccuQuilt blog hop.  I've been amazed with the tips, insights and giveaways in this hop.  Today's stops in this hop are:

All of the Barn Blocks are amazing. I had a hard time deciding which ones were my favorite to vote for.
