I was making a rag quilt for Christmas present and NOT enjoying it at all. The cutting part, that is. Was at Joannes and found a pair of Fiskar scissors that were called rag quilt scissors. I used a coupon and got them for like fourteen dollars. They are worth every penny, especially since I really like the rag quilt and plan to make them for the men of the family for Christmas. Thought I would share that info,just in case someone was interested.
