I have the Go and strip cutter, charm dies and I started buying 1/2 yard extra when I buy fabric and cut the extra into strips. I have have dozens of my very own jelly rolls and charm packs in all colors. The pre cuts are so easy to store and look pretty filling up baskets in my sewing room.

I also buy extra 1/4 to 1/5 yd and cutting two of each strip which I have found to be best for doing a nice sized quilt, smile. Thanks for the idea of jelly rolls and charms packs in baskets. That's perfect for getting my unused baskets into service.

Just once I purchased .. it was not as accuarate of a cut as I could have done... so I saw no value.

I do the same as my favorite part of quilting is the cutting. I have WIP's that are just cut and not worked on. But I'll get to them. Quilting is my Therapy that keeps me going.
