Love your design. Congratulations.
I have an accuquilt GO and love it. I use a lot of the different die cuts - especially the strip cutters. Think about the block sizes you make most frequently and go from there.

Again, congrats, Kutnso

Wow! You did very good! I voted for you,too.
I bought my GO cutter over a year ago, and LOVE IT! I have never regretted buying it. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. They claim you can save 5 hours of cutting time on a queen size quilt, and I don't doubt it, though I have never timed it. What I really love about it is that it cuts the pieces so precisely that they just go together perfectly. That is where it also saves a lot of time.
I have lots of dies. The ones I use the most are the strip cutters. With the strip cutters you can cut sashings, borders, bindings, jelly rolls, squares, diamonds, even bias binding. I also love, and use a lot of the appliqué dies. I apply Steam a Seam Light 2 prior to cutting out the shapes, and then just peel off the backing and attach it to whatever I want to put it on. Then I use my embroidery machine and the GO embroidery designs.
Be sure and go to the Accucut site and watch all the videos. They are extremely helpful.

Now I need help deciding how to spend my gift certificate! These are die-cutters for fabric. Do you have an Accu-Cutter? Do you like it? What is your favorite die to use? I am thinking a Drunkard's path or maybe the rag-quilt die that pre-cuts all the rag edges. Or maybe a flower template, something that is generally a pain to cut with scissors. What do you suggest?
