It's hip to be square. These geometric beauties are the basic building
blocks of quilting. The GO! Square cleanly and quickly cuts nine 2 1/2"
squares that finish to 2" squares. This die is used in conjunction with
additional AccuQuilt GO! block dies that work together to create typical
6", 8" and 12" finished patchwork quilt blocks such as the Spinner and
Jewel Box blocks.
