What kind of quilts do you like to make? My first dies were the tumblers, the 2.5in.& the 1.5in strips, 6.5 in. square, the double 5 in. square. I usually wait for the sales and then decide what I need. Since I like to make hexi quilts I also bought the multiple size hexis. I have quite a few dies and the majority were bought from Accuquilt.com because I order enough to get free shipping. They also don't charge me tax, so that is another savings. Some day I hope to make the Double Wedding Ring so bought it when it was on special, used it to cut out a quilt my friend wanted to make - we were done in about 2 hours for a king quilt (which included ironing the fabric).
