I took the plunge and got the cutter!! It has been long enough and I have made my way through enough quilts to convince my husband it would be a good investment. Now the question is - for those that have it - what is the die you like the most? I have the oppertunity to ask for these for Christmas and just can't decide. I got the starter kit so I have a lot already. I know I want the Tumber, I just like the way they look scrappy. But I am thinking I want a strip cutter but I don't know what the best size it. I am thinking 3.5 but I am not sure why

Any suggestions?

I have the 2 1/2" and use it all the time. I have the tumbler (both sizes) and I like the smaller one better. I use the hexagon and the circles alot too. Enjoy it!!!

I have the 2 1/2" strip cutter - love it for binding and cutting my own jelly roll strips. There are so many patterns for jelly rolls and you can make your own!

If you get the 2 1/2" strip cutter, you can use it to swap strips in the swap I host occasionally here at the QB

I love mine, I have the 5"-4" sqs -stars- hexagons- snowflakes- trees- and a flower. I want the tunbler, I am thinking about the strips, but I think I would like a strip cutter. I may ask for that for Christmas. It only comes with 1 mat and I could use a long mat as some of the patterns are long and narrow.

I invested in many of the shapes or figures. I wanted the cutter for applique. I make a lot of Linus quilts and currently little dresses for the children in Hatia etc. They are really cute and so easy with the Baby Go.
