I use my Accuquilt GO "sew" much. I used it "yet again" for a Spring placemat purse.
Auditioning handles with plaid placemat and two red napkins:
Auditioning polka dots for inside:
Using: Accuquilt's ROUND FLOWER GO die:
I save every little scrap because you never know when you might need just a "dot"..
Cut shapes, not sure which ones I would use.
This is what happened when I finished:

I don't know how you store your dies but it's best to store them on end as the picture below shows. The reason for this is so that the weight of other dies does not bend the blades. Here is my stash of GO dies:
To be eligible for the ONE DAY all you have to do is guess how many dies you think I might have and leave that number in your comment on this post only. When I boot up my computer tomorrow morning, all the winning guesses will be put in a basket and a number will be selected. If there are no correct guesses, the closest guess(es), without GOing over, will be the names going in the basket to be chosen from.
To the winner of the One Day will GO:
This kit was purchased at the Bernina shop. It is called "Friendship Star" by Alex Anderson.
