With the quilt marked where you want to cut it, you can slide it along your mat, cut that portion, then slide it down more. You don't have to worry too much about marking the quilt because the edge is going to be covered with the binding.

I got my new flyer from Joann's yesterday and there are 2--60% off coupons that can be used between Nov. 7-11. One for a regular priced item the other for your total purchase fo regular-priced notions wall items. Might want to check them out if you haven't already.

I received the same coupons. Enablers. Guess I"ll have to make a trip to use them. It's been a while since I've shopped there but this time of year , good for those quilters in my life for gifts....Happy shopping.
Need a nice new cutting mat as well.
