I know I promised it last week but I have been having a really hard time coming up with the giveaway for the Baby Go! There are so many options but then I got to thinking that the whole point of AccuQuilt is to make life for us quilters easier, not more complicated.
I really wish I had more of these to giveaway because I know so many who they could help but I only have the one, plus three dies.You can read my review of the Baby Go! here.
So here's how it's going to work. You have three chances to win.
Chance #1
Leave me a comment telling me how you think the Baby Go! will make things easier for you. That's it.
Chance #2
Use social media to spread the word about the giveaway. That's facebook, twitter, blogs, google+ etc
Leave me a comment with the link, and if it's on twitter make sure to include @caraquilts #gogiveaway in the tweet.
Chance #3
Like my new facebook page.
That's it. Three chances. The first one requires nothing but a comment, the extra two are a bit of work for you. I will draw on August 7th.
I'd love for you to follow/connect with me on various social media sites but I'm not going to force it. If you want to I'd love it, you can get all the link on the top left sidebar of the blog.

If I had a GO! I could make those baby quilts that have been on my to-do list... I have several with shapes that are not rotary friendly and the GO! would make cutting the quilts out such a breeze!
Persistence will surely pay off one of these days! I would SO! love a GO!
Thanks for the chance!
I am your newest FB Fan!! :)
I posted about your giveaway on my FB page.. Not sure about how to get a link to the shout out but here is a link to my wall.

My arthritis hand says that a Go would help them out with some of the cutting.
Cutting things out is not my favorite thing,but a Go Baby would make it easier. Since I love applique, a Baby Go would be fantastic! Happy quilting!
I also liked your facebook page :)
I love the sewing part of quilting but I'm not a fan of the cutting/prep part so the Go Cutter would really simplify my creativity. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I now "like" you on facebook. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
The Baby Go would be a huge help to me. I don't have a cutting table or space to spread out except on my kitchen table. I think it would be so much fun to have the Go and cut out fabric (on my kitchen table of course) without taken up the whole table. I love your blog and check in every chance I get. OOOH I would have to buy Hexagon papers anymore!
Well I have a bad back, and can't quite seem to find comfortable cutting height, so a Go Baby! would save me a lot of pain :)
Lately I have been in love with circles, and it would be so nice to have a fast way of cutting them!
I like Cara Quilts on facebook!
A Baby Go! would make my life easier because I love my scraps. I also have a work-from-home job in which I work in the middle of the night taking calls and placing orders for people. When I am not taking calls I sort and cut my scraps. I would LOVE to be able to do this quickly and precisely! Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh man this would be awesome. My husband really wants a triangle quilt and I've been putting it off for months because I dread the thought of all the precise cutting. This would finally make it possible!
I'd love a Baby Go! I could take it on the GO and quickly cut out so many things! For applique, it would rock my world - instead of sitting there with a pair of points scissors and hoping not to slip I could quickly cut things out and be ready to sew!
Anything that speeds up my cutting time, will help me a lot! I'd really love to crank out some charity quilts.
I tweeted the contest and webstie @sharonabraham
I like that the go baby will cut 2 1/2" strips so I could make all my binding and sashing strips super quickly! Thanks for a chance to win.

I do not cut circles and I really want to make a quilts with circles so it would make my life easies as I could cut the circles with the GO. Also hexies. I love hexies and this would cut done on the time it takes to cut them out.
Thanks.
I really can't imagine all the amazing things you could do with this cutter! So many of those projects my little dudes have asked me to make that I've been afraid to try, no more!
off to explore your blog now... excited to find a fellow canadian :)
As a busy mom of 2 boys (6 & 4) who can only quilt after work/ bedtime... this would make it so much faster (and maybe I could finish my christmas gift quilts on time this year!!!) LOL
I think that the Go Baby could really help me to try more complicated quilt patterns. I love the apple core quilt pattern, but the thought of cutting out every single piece by hand is very intimidating, especially if my cutting is slightly off! Thanks for the sweet giveaway :)

Thanks so much for the chance to win a Go! Baby and the following dies:
Go! Rag Square - 5 1/4 inches
Go! Rag Flower and Circle
Go! Rag Heart and Star
It's hard to stop there when they're all so adorable.
A Baby Go! would be great so I could get a lot of the precision cut pieces that will make my piecing accurate. Go! Baby Go!
From what I read about Baby Go!, it seems like it owuld help with my cutting precision (which is definitely a weak point in my quilting skills

I follow you and just noticed your fabulous give-away!! How could I not give it a try to win? :) How would this help me? Well, Appliqué on quilts and clothes is a regular occurance for a mother of 2 girls with another girl on the way. I would just love a machine to do the cutting for me :)
Cara, I just liked you as a friend on Facebook.
I think that it would make my life easier and I would be able to make a few quilts for my Christmas Gifts

It would help so much with the basic cuts but also allow me to make some more intricate applique pieces. Better start with the basics first.
Where do I begin...increased accuracy, time saved, and less time in the emergency room due to mishaps!
The Go! Baby would make doing applique and fun shaped blocks (like the tumbler) so much easier. I love the look of applique, but cutting out the shapes always ends up being so tedious!

Thank you for the Go Baby giveaway! What a chance! :)
I am hoping that the go will help some with the arthritis in my hands as some days it is very painful to rotary cut and I don't seem as accurate any more
I have three little boys who are always curious about what I am doing so I can never use my rotary cutter (or even sometimes my scissors) for fear of them cutting themselves or one of the others. This would make it nearly impossible for them to get hurt! Thank you for the giveaway!
The Go! Baby would help with cutting down on cutting time (pardon the pun) and increase my accuracy of shapes too...which in turn would help with sewing as well :o) Hugs Naomi
I have liked your page on Facebook. Hugs Naomi
I've popped it on my Facebook (Naomi Vela) and I've twittered it...tweeted it...aack I have no idea how to drive Twitter, so can't even send you the link for it sorry....I basically only have an account there for giveaways (hee hee) Good luck everyone Hugs Naomi
I like cutting, but only things with easy angles. I was sent a set of tumble blocks already cut and they were a breeze to sew so that is how I would use a go baby.
Liked your facebook!
With the Go Baby, I would be able to try out new patterns that have harder shapes to cut out.
I just tweeted about your giveaway. I used the Baby Go with my SIL who just got one and it is amazing how well the shapes some out. I would actually give the Go to my mom who really has a hard time cutting accurately, though I might borrow it back sometimes to make the mosaic block from the Wish Upon a Quilt Company (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE8gbUxnQFY, if you want to watch it).
Thanks!

This would make my life easier as it would cut down on the rotary cutter accidents. :P No More Stitches
I am also a follower on facebook now as well.
Scissors make blisters! I've had enough of that . . . give me a Go! Baby - I'd rather sew.
And the three dies that I'd like, of course, are the rag ones. Make life easier ALL THE WAY!!!
Thanks,
I'm pining after a Go! cutter! It is so frustrating when your quilt gets messed up if your cutting is even a smidge off.
I would love to win because it would help me complete projects quicker and it will challenge me with new shapes.
I tweeted about your giveaway.
I have liked your Facebook page.
I "like" your FB page :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
I have been seriously dreaming of having my own Go Baby!!! During a visit, my sister (who is blessed with one) was kind enough to cut over 225 2 1/2 inch squares for me for a quilt I am working on. UnBelievable!!!! Thanks for the giveaway and the opporunity to win :)
I think this will give me neater cut out pieces that I struggle to cut by hand. Baby go seems like such a time saver too. That's just got to be good. Jacinta

If I had the Baby Go that saves me and my friends time to cut out. Every monday me and my friends come together to sew and quilt, just lovely.

Oh I just know that the Baby will help with applique work. I haven't done a "real" quilt yet but I think I could gather up the nerve with this little treasure if I had the Hexagons, Birds and Fall Medley. Thanks so much for the chance!
I tweeted your giveaway via @SuesSewCrafty. Thanks!
And I "liked" you on FB. Looking forward to your updates!
The Baby Go would make the complicated shapes faster to cut, as I don't have any fancy rulers to cut with. And then I could try some of the more complicated quilt patterns. Thanks for a chance to win!

I'm a follower of your blog and would love to win a GO! Baby. I want to join the hexagon quilt-a-long and the GO! Baby would be such a help in cutting them out.
I "like"d your page on facebook.
The baby Go is just a quick easy way to get blocks cut so that I can spend more time putting them together. I think I would be able to get more quilting finished. More done and more to try.
well the Go Baby would certianly eliminate my complete incompetence of cutting shapes uniformly, seriously my circles always end up more oval, it drives me crazy!
Here I am for my second go, I have linked your giveaway on my facebook business page

And now I am following you on facebook

oh... it would make things go sooooo much faster with the cutting! and my back wouldn't be on pain either... thanks for the chance
I like you on FB too!
I think the Baby GO would be very helpful in making consistent accurate cuts, which would help in piecing. I think it would really speed up cutting for me.
I I would love to use the Go! Baby for odd shapes. Those can be so difficult to get right!!
Perfect tools for cutting fabric, more accurate and time saving!! Thanks for a chance!!

I really want to win a Baby Go! as right now I have to do all the cutting for my daughter who is learning to quilt. At 6 she is just too young to use a rotary cutter. But I've seen the Baby Go demo and really think it will be safe for her to learn to cut her own fabric. Leaving me time to do my own projects!
Thanks so much for the giveaway! I think that the Go! would make circles so much easier!

Hi! - Less time cutting = more time sewing = more quilts made.....sounds good to me.
Oh the baby go would so help me use up some of my stash and make some of those awesome scrappy quilts. I would have so much fun cutting stuff up to sew together from my leftover bin! (OK so it is more than a bin - but don't tell anyone!) What could be more fun than using this to cut away!
I think having one of these would make my life easier, because I could cut triangles with the dogears lopped off already. That would help me with my sewing accuracy!
Tweeted!
thanks for the chance to win, I love the idea of using the GO! cutters with my embroidery machine so I would love the stunning snowflakes, bountiful baskets and holiday accessories.
thanks again!

Well, there are some quilts that I swear I will die before having made them because of the pieces to cut such at the Wedding Ring and the Drunkard's Path. Perhaps I would actually try these patterns! Thanks!
I tweeted @LisaT63, thank you!
I am likeing CaraQuilts on Facebook. Thanks again!
Oh my goodness, I'm dying to try one of these!
I think it would make it easier for me to do scrappy quilts. I can be kind of lazy and prefer a lot of "stack & whack" with similarly-sized pieces of fabric. I'd love to be able to just feed it through!
I have such precious little time for sewing, so ANYTHING that will save me some cutting time and let me get to sewing my projects faster would be wonderful!
I tweeterated! :)
It would make life so much easier and faster to cut alot of the shapes available on the goBaby!
Thanks Cara, I would love a chance to win! I would use the baby Go for hexagons, would be sooooo much easier!
Okay, you all are wondering why am I entering this, since you all know I have one already. I am doing it for my sis, she wants one so bad, I can't afford to buy her one, won't let her enter to win the one I am giving away (just don't seem right) and she doesn't Tweet, Facebook, Blog or anything like that. Being the GOOD Sis that I am, it is all about her right now. Thanks Cara and Accuquilt
Any help with cutting would be great!
I think it would just make the long process of cutting much easier so I can get to the happy sewing part quicker! :)
I love doing hexagons but hate all the cutting out, so GO Baby would make like so much easier.
I have liked your facebook page
I'd use a Baby Go! to get my stash under control - cutting the fabrics to make kits for myself, ready to sew all winter long. How fun would that be? To have a quilt store in my sewing room!

I liked your new facebook page.
I think the accuquilt go will be great for making "specialty" projects that I probably wouldn't take the time to cut. I love the tumblers!
It would make my life easier b/c I just had arm surgery and it hurts to cut a lot of fabric - with the Go Baby, it looks simple enough that my husband could cut the fabric for me! I don't trust him with the rotary cutter. Thanks for the chance!
tweeted about the giveaway
Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway. I know having an Accuquilt Go would make it much easier to cut any quilt piece that's curved, like Apple Core, or Drunkard's Path, both of which I've manually cut with a 28 mm rotary cutter. It's tedious!
I would love to win this Go!cutter because i draw out all of my applique designs by hand. This will make my life easier since im getting married in 1 mth it will free up time with my soon to be husband!
Im getting married in exactly 1 month yesterday! My Husband to be says he doesnt get to see me enough because im taking too much time on drawing and cutting my own applique! So if i were to win this i could spend more time with my hubby!
The GO would make it easier for me because I need lots of little funky flowers (I'd pick that die) for a quilt i'm working on. Thanks for the chance.
The short version? I am overrun with scraps! I have plenty of great ideas for USING the scraps, but no desire to cut out a zillion little triangles or squares! C'mon, Baby! (Go!)
I can already imagine how much faster cutting would be with the Baby Go. I've been hearing some fabulous things about it. Hope to see for myself. Already follow you on twitter and facebook.
The circle die would have to be the best way to cut loads of petals for a 3D rose cushion. I found a great tutorial for one on the net and proceeded to cut at least a hundred similiar petals and it took me far too long and wore out my wrists just a bit. It would let you concentrate on the sewing. Great little invention! Thank-you for asking and for hosting this give-away! jil: weftandwarp (at) hotmail (dot) com
What a great give away. Since I am new to quilting this would make cutting out shapes so much easier.
More time for sewing.
Teresa's Heartfelt stitches
I like to make pixelated quilts...in particular 8-bit video game quilts (dig dug, donkey kong, Mario, etc). If your square cuts are slightly off things do not line up and you can have distorted faces, etc. It can be super frustrating! I would LOVE the go baby with the 2" square die as it would help things line up much easier and alleviate some stress!

I have had my eye on the AcuQuilt products. If I had one.... it would make my life easier because cutting the fabric seems to be the most tedious part for me. Anything to help speed it up AND improve the accuracy of my cuts would be good for me!! Good luck everybody!
I like you on Facebook. :-)
This would make my quilting life so much easier,because I can't seam to draw or cut a straight line even with a ruler!
I have wanted one of these ever since I heard about it. I have MS and unfortunately I shake sometimes which makes cutting really difficult. But I love to sew on my sewing macine - it's just the cutting that gets me. I really really hope I win.
I like you on Facebook. Heck I love you on Facebook and even more on Twitter - YOU ROCK!!!
I Tweeted about your giveaway. You really ROCK.

i LOVE applique, but don't love cutting the shapes....i think the Baby go & i would be a match made in heaven!!! :-)
I like your FB page!
A go would make life easier since it would cut fabric so fast...the faster I cut the less accurate I am!
I tweeted the giveaway as well!
I just "liked" your FB page! Now off to Twitter!
I think the Go Baby would help me because I usually sew clothes and not quilts. I think I'd be more willing to tackle unique quilt projects if the cutting were THIS easy!,
Just tweeted for you!! (and for me....because I want to win!). :)
Any time you can avoid using templates it's a win, so that's a big plus for the Go system!
I love challenging shapes, but I hate cutting them out. I would love a go!
I was just thinking I needed something like this because I need a tool that will precisely cut some embellishments for a costume. It would save me so much time (and look so professional)!
I'd love to win a baby go. My life would be easier because I really like to make tumbler blocks and my cutting would go so much faster with a GO.
