I have been working on a customer quilt that required some base blocks for appliqué and lots of sashing. These are her daughters dance costumes from when she was a little girl.
So I pull out my GO! and my 8-1/2" square dies and in less than 5 minutes I have all 30 base blocks cut. I had to manually cut the hearts because I didn't have a die big enough but that's ok.
Next I pull out my 2-1/2" strip die to work on the sashing... Just like magic, again, in less than 5 minutes I had several 2-1/2" strips cut.
Now I could have stopped there but where's the fun in that. My blocks are 8-1/2", so my sashing needs to be the same, right? So back out comes my square die, I lay the strips across it...
Yep, you guessed it, I was then able to quickly cut all my sashing.
Used my strip die for binding and my 2-1/2" square die for the corners stones. The entire quilt was cut out in less than 30 minutes (except the hearts). The more I use my GO!, the more I love it and find other ways to use it.
These are on sale at my website for $229... Includes and amazing die & mat so you can get started right out of the box.
Now, let's GO! quilting!
