I have enjoyed the dies that make a variety of 12" blocks, as well as a number of applique' designs.

I totally agree as with most things in life we all have a different style of doing things so our tools will be different to help us achieve. My first die that I bought was te rag quilter and I love it. Have you all seen the new dies, they finally got smart and made them two tone. You can now very easily, without using your sharpie on them see where the shapes are. Go to Accuquilt's web site and look at a lot of pretty patterns and also to see the new dies.
