Love this pattern and being able to use my Go for it is a definite bonus. This definitely goes in my binder for Go patterns!

I am not familiar with this artist but will be researching her.

Thanks for the link!

I was looking at the die that makes 1, 1 1/2 and 2 in. strips. Looks like they are all together. If I wanted just one of those size strips would I have to cut a strip to fit just that section? If so I'm not sure I want this die.

Goodness, it's a bit embarrassing to think of the money I've thrown away on things

Well, the good news is that the Go! and the dies seem to really hold their value well. I looked for a used machine for awhile before I bought the Fuse and I wasn't seeing them available for very much less than new. So if you put yours up on eBay you'll probably get a pretty good percentage of your original investment back!

Thanks...I'm gonna use my go too except the 7x7 will have to be cut by hand. Can't wait to start going thry my stash and get to cutting!

Before you rotary cut those 7"squares...if you have the 4" finished HST substitute that......as you see by the diagram. That 7" is sewed around edges and then diagonals cut...giving you bias edges on those HSTs....just a heads up....

I love my Studio too! Although, I'd probably cut the time even further by changing this to use the chisel die or the half hexagon.

Here is the pattern: http://www.quiltingismytherapy.com/w...al-revised.pdf

Just bought a GO due to arth. in hands. Good to hear I did not make a mistake.
