I use the Go rag die. I use the 8 in square for quilts and the smaller square rag die for projects like pillows. I layer the squares sew the X and then cut with the die to rag before sewing. The squares are easy to sew to fit because the rags are very forgiving if I have to fudge some. The rag quilt is my most often requested quilt to make for family young and old. I can have a throw size made using pre cut squares in less in a few hours. When I see flannel layer cakes on sale I buy! great backing for the quilt.
