KalamaQuilts

some months later.... I am 100% satisified my accuquilt go electric was the best purchase I've made this year. Thank you all so much for your advice and suggestions. I m anaged to find it new for $499.00 and no tax. Talk about falling into luck.
And I just bought a tinsy cutesy little Go Me for the 5th wheel to travel with me. Too cute for words.

this is what I've purchased some at hedious expense, some supder reasonable on the secondary market. Other than replacement mats I think I'm done shoppin'.
--I got the 8" and 4" qubes with companion angles and corners, have used a ton of them. I finished the 40X40 wall quilt backing below with the kite shape with strings on the side, in 2 days. I'd never have cut kite project without the accuquilt cutter.
--A multi strip cutter from blue wren that will do 1" to 6" I think it is. Shorter than accuquuilt dies which makes sense because I pretty much only cut scraps up to fat quarter. The expense of a long die is lost on me.
---I got 4 BOBs in a bundle special, 6". I know Spool and Crazy block (in progress below) are two, can't remember the other two while I'm sitting down here.
---a 3x6 flying geese came with the big cutter I thought I'd never use; already made a quilt for hospice out of my green gifted batik scraps left over from my project.
---3" charms, already have a quilt in men's shirts cut with it
---3" 1/4 sq and 1/2 square dies came with the little cutter
seems like there was one more but that is enough to keep me busy forever.

zero buyers remorse, although I wouldn't have considered it seriously if I hadn't broke my arm.
I think the Qubes are a brilliant invention, eliminating the need for what seems like dozens of one job dies.

anyway, happy quilting and thanks again.
