Giveaway (Go cutter 1", 1,5" and 2" fabric strips)

Thank you so much for all the comments. This give away is now closed.
The winner is Muddling Through. Elaine said: "Millie, you are the sweetest. I have wondered about the go strip cutter and am glad to have your opinion. I need to make a coin quilt, that is one I haven't done yet".
I wish I could give everybody something.
 I got a new Go cutter die to play with. It is the Go Strip Cutter 1", 1,5" and 2" die.
 I like to have a two day give away. 
6 yards of Christmas/holiday fabric cut up in 1", 1,5" and 2" strips can be yours.
I had so much fun with this new Go cutter die. I took a few yellow, blue and purple pieces from my stash and cut it up in the strips. It went so fast and the strips are very accurate.
 I also cut a few 2,5" strips from the same fabric as well as white sashing strips. Do you have a Go cutter die wish list? I do and the Go Cutter 2,5" die is on the top of my wish list.
 I made a Chinese Coin quilt from my strips. Not only was the cutting fast, but the sewing too.  I love Chinese Coin quilts. I quilted the top with a flower and leave panto.
  I cut about 6 yards of Christmas, red and green fabric in strips. I love my Go cutter. I will add the strings in a pink baggie for a String quilt. If you like to enter for this giveaway, please leave me a comment on this post.
I think these strips will make a beautiful Chinese Coin, Spiderweb, Rail Fence, Roman Stripe or Bento Box quilt. The strips are also perfect for a String quilt. Thank you so much for stopping by at my blog and good luck. I will pick the winner Monday.
Happy quilting,
Millie

    ooh -how fun! I haven't gotten a Go Cutter 'yet' but I have been tempted. I do think I would end up cutting everything in sight though!

    Cutting strips is exactly what I would want to do if I got a GO cutter. It looks like you got over the learning curve in a hurry. Would love to win some Christmas strips!

    Love your fabrics. The GO is so fun to use. Sometimes I get more excited about cutting than sewing. I would love this die for cutting out different sizes of strips all at once. Thanks for sharing how you used it. K-

    Millie, I always enjoy seeing your latest string quilts. They are sew inspiring! I have done similar but a slightly different method. I live in Australia, so not sure I can enter your giveaway, but if I can, please count me in. xx debbie

    What a great post! I have a Go! Cutter, but not the strip dies - you have tempted me. Please include me in your give-away, it would be awesome to have a quick stash of strips.

    I have been looking at the Go cutter and the bigger one also. I have found a Scan n Cut and that is next on my list to investigate. It looks like it will save some $$, b/c it does not require dies and can scan anything. I'd love to win the strips in the meantime. LOL

    I love coin quilts and have made a few of them. What a smart idea to use your go cutter for strips. I have often tried to win a cutter but have never succeeded so there it it is- It would be very useful to have for some cutting-
    Thanks for the chance to win your lovely strips.
    Regards from Alberta,

    I'd love to relieve you of the excess strips! LOL I saw a quilt made in a rail fence fashion using the 3 different sized strips in different orders. It was a fun-looking quilt & I'd love to try it!
