I have a bunch of dies, and have used most of them. However, the ones I use most frequently are the strip dies. I really think they are the bread and butter of the dies. You can use the strip dies to cut sashing, borders, bindings, squares and diamonds. The other dies I use the most are the quilt block dies, like the Hunter's Star. I would never have tried to make a Hunter's Star quilt without the GO die. No ways was I going to cut all those little triangles and strange shapes by the hundreds with my rotary cutter and hope I cut them true enough to make all the little pieces fit together properly. With the GO die it was so easy, and all the little pieces fit together perfectly. I hope you end up loving your GO as much as I love mine
