Thanks everyone for your replies!! Since my sewing isn't ALWAYS that precise, it sounds like a good idea to cut all the strips ahead of time. I guess I'll just have to cut a little while sewing on another project so that I don't get burnt out on making the quilt before I get started sewing...
And, Omak, to really date myself, I had to hang out clothes when my daughter was little -- in the winter. Darn frozen diapers :lol: :lol: :lol:
