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.
I just started a 83x83"quilt using Ricky Tims Kool Kaleidascope pattern where I'm using a total of 3 (3 different sizes) and 1 partial kaleidascope and need lots of strip sets. Yesterday I cut all of them using the 1/2,1,1 1/2" die, 2.5" and 3.5" die--all in 45 min! I love this accuquilt Go Big--today had not hand or shoulder soreness!
