GREAT JOB GINA!!!
(I DO have Gina's permission to post about the dies!)

I thought I would walk you through which dies to use 

if you have a die cutting system.

Using your dies gives you accuracy to begin with!

I have Accuquilt

(And I will also try to include Sizzix)

So for Block #1

I used dies from 8" GO! QUBE

We need to cut:

 4.5" squares - Die #1 (55708)

2.5" squares - Die #2 (55709)

2.5"x4.5" rectangle - Die #8 (55715)

Cut by hand:

4.5"x8.5" rectangles 

1.5" squares

When cutting squares,
you can ALWAYS use your strip die for the size square,
then turn your strip across the die to cut squares.
