I think some may say I cheated. I used a die cutter (AccuQuilt Studio) to cut out the circles. I don't think I would stick with the project if I had to cut all those squares by hand. I'm using 112 circles. Although, I did notice that they had a rag circle die for the AccuQuilt GO now too, that is designed for this quilt project. But I already had the 8.5" circle die.
Thank you for the reminder of the GO die!! I have this die also, and I've been wondering what to do with a rather large piece of denim I "inherited" from my grandmother's stash. I think I'll go drag that out, and add some of hubby's old jean's to give it different colors.
And no, that's not cheating!! If that was the case, then rotary cutters are cheating too!!
