Hello everyone.
I am in need of the use of a 2 1/2" hexagon die and cutter. I need to cut out over 800 for my granddaugher's quilt. I have called alot of the local quilt shops and they don't rent time on a die cutter. Does anyone have any suggestions or is there someone local that would be willing to let me use their's?

Are you going to use english paper piecing? If so, I would rough cut them and print free hexagon graph paper.

Are you making them all different colours and fabrics or are you making a bunch with the same fabric?
I have a grandmother's flower garden on the go and just recently bought the hex die 2.5inch from Sizzix...4 hex's on the die...up until then I was cutting fabric out with a little cardboard template, drawing it on my fabric first...it actually went surprisingly fast...2 at a time
I would offer mine but am in Toronto...

Just a thought. There is a library a couple of miles away from me that has an acquilt (spelling error i know) but they have the dies also. All you need is a library card. Now i realize I am clear across the country but it might be something to look into at libraries near you??? This library is the only one around this area that has this that I can tell.
