Default 2" Squares

Quick question for those of you who save and work with 2" squares:
Do you rotary cut them or use an Accuquilt or similar device to cut them?
Thanks!

Usually make stripsets using rotary cutting, although I've used Accuquit if one is available.

Cut from strips normally unless I have bought pre cuts.

Depending on how many I need, I usually use my June Taylor Shape Cutter, but if there are a lot, then I use my Accuquilt GO.

I am in the middle of piecing a quilt with 2" squares.... Just to cut these I bought a baby go (found it on sale at good price) and I will tell you that I know immediately when I pick up 2 pieces of fabric which was cut on the GO. I never thought I'd want one, but cutting a zillion little pieces became burdensome enough I decided to try it. Now I wish I had waited to cut all of them on the GO. I didn't realize my cutting was so inconsistent. But, dang it! I still want some enterprising engineer to create a home laser cutting system.
