Am I a stripper? Nope, I'M A CUTTING MANIAC!

I hope  my title of this post got your attention! 

Yesterday was our quilt bee, so I just had to take my GO cutter from AccuQuilt to show all the gals (and took just a few of my fabrics) so everyone could play with it!   




First of all, we cut one of the girls' Jelly Rolls into 320  2 1/2"  squares.  She wants to make a quilt like my SEA BREEZES http://bit.ly/c5pLKv quilt that uses 2 1/2" squares.  We had those 320 squares cut in no time by laying the jelly roll strips perpindicular folded back & forth on the 2 1/2" strip die....turn...turn...turn..the handle.  Voila!  Done!  

I'm so glad I took all those fabrics...(tee hee... & let the girls "practice" )...and magically they are now 2 1/2"  strips!  The other little pile on the RH side is my group (so far) of some scraps cut into HST (half square triangles) and 2 1/2" squares.

I LOVE MY GO cutter from AccuQuilt!
