To cut a queen size quilt in a star mosaic( like my avatar)
for 3" finished HST
I need 40 strips 4" wide so I am wasting 1/8" per strip or a total of 5" on the queen size quilt
but I can cut it exactly- never an off triangle- in less than 30 minutes
this includes picking out the fabric
and I am off sewing
to me the 5" waste is worth the time in rotary cutting and measuring that exact 3 7/8" and aggravation of not having the triangles match exactly
also the points are docked
so no bunny ears to cut off!
