I am slowly trying to get most of the strip cutters, as I can cut many shapes from them. I have the 8"block, the school house, some triangles, the chisel, 1 3/4, 2 1/2, 3, and 5 inch strip dies. I've only used the school house die for a table runner and the 2 1/2 strips for sashings and borders. I used the 1 3/4 for tree trunks and one of the triangles for the tree tops. I embroidered the couples name and the date their home was established. It really turned out cute.
