I love mine too. I do cut strips with it. 2 1/2” then sub cut sideways and you have 2 1/2” squares. 1 1/2” strips are really useful to me. I am a scrappy quilter and these are my favorite sizes. 1 1/2” strips sewn together and then cut into 11/2 “ makes a great square. Lots of different ways to use and cut and like Battle Axe, my corners meet!
