I recently acquired an AccuQuilt Go! cutter and the first cutting die I bought was the orange peel die. So far I really enjoy my AccuQuilt (although it's SO heavy), and it takes some self-control not to go and buy every die that looks good. For the orange peel though, it's a great time saver, and I was able to both fuse and cut 150 orange peels needed for my quilt ridiculously quickly. Needless to say there are a lot of orange peel quilts in my future!
This is my first time using fusible applique on such a large scale, and I really enjoy it. There's something very kindergarten arts & crafts about glueing shapes, which is quite liberating. I'm using a heavy-duty Pellon Wonder Under for the fusible web, and so far it's been working beautifully. It's extremely fast to fuse, and although I find it a teensy bit stiff, I do not mind stiffness at all.
I'm using 2 packs of fat quarters, one mostly solid and one chevron striped, and they're both rainbow themed. Hopefully it'll look as great as I'm hoping.
