The best thing since the rotary cutter?

I have been excited about many of the awesome fabrics that have been coming to the shop this spring.  The first is the Hometown Girl fabric by Pat Sloan, I just LOVE this fabric, it has a fun and fresh look.
So I combined Hometown Girl with my newest and most exciting tool in the sewing world - my Go! Big electric cutter.  I really do think this is the best thing that has come around in quilting for many years.  Sure, you have heard about the GO! cutters but the one I am talking about is the electric one.  I cut these blocks out in no time at all by letting the machine do the work.  Two little pieces ran away between the shop and going home with me to the farm to be assembled.  Where they are I have no idea but I will keep looking, at least I have plenty of fabric left at the shop to recut them.  The pieces are cut with the dog ears snipped away making for perfect piecing and eliminating the step of trimming.   They are already cut diagonally so I don't have to make a mark on every square to make them into triangles!  You are going to LOVE this product.  
In March all the Go! cutters have a $50 rebate so be sure to check them out.  You can be sure you are going to hear more about this cool item from me.  Who wants to sew?  All of us, but who says they love to cut?  None!

I sew and quilt. I have had the mat and cutter. I don't like them. I actually like the motorized scissors better.
