Love my Go! cutter - especially the strips. I have all the way from 1-1/2" to 6" strip cutter. Looooooove it. Regarding the eagle - I think it would look good centered on your queen size quilt. Maryanne Fonze (Fonze & Porter) did a quilt to give to a service person and it had a really large eagle in the center. It was beautiful. Be sure & post pictures. Oh, about the mats for the Go! when it gets really, really really hard to roll thru the cutter - it's time to change to a new one. Ask me how I know.
