My Husband got me a go cutter for our Anniversay Saturday, and I have played with it all morning cutting scraps into 2 1/2" squares - it is amazing how many small scraps I had and still haven't made a dent in them.

I have a baby Go cutter and I do find it great for the odd shapes like flowers and hearts (that's actually all I've done with it so far) but I find the board you need to put through wears at the same spot pretty much and quite faster than I anticipated even though I rotate it. Is it worth it to cut "squares" and strips?? If you already cut a strip, how do you turn it into even squares? For this swap I found you get the right number of squares from one 2 1/2" WOF??

You crosscut the strip...I placed masking tape on the die at a right angle except where the metal would be and line the strips up folding them...makes perfect squares...
