It seems that most of the patterns use the 2 1/2" WOFs or 2 1/2" squares which are easy to make if the WOF is already cut. If you like to applique, look for patterns like the teddy bear, leaves, flowers, etc. and cut enough of those to make a quilt or two or three! I wouldn't buy new material if I could help it.
Congrats on your win and I'll be looking for pictures of what you create with your goodies!
Welcome to the board! I couldn't agree more with Farmquilter! I own a studio cutter and my most used die is the 2.5" strip cutter. It's good for sashings, inner borders and the best for bindings. I think for the Go you can cut 6 layers (studio 10 layers) at a time . You can go to the Accuquilt website and take a look around. Enjoy and as others mentioned 1 hour goes by quick if you don't plan ahead. Enjoy, I have to say using my studio is one of my favorite things when I start a quilt!
