sounds like my first quilt. I did use a rotatry cutter and strip pieced it but missed the part about all seems being exactly 1/4 inch. I was very proud of it (christmas quilt, beautiful) but then when I looked at it years later I thought, how awful! None of the corners matched, it was wobbly wavy and the gold trim I put on the edge shrunk more than the fabric did! ;) but it got me started!
