I bought the last of the fabric off the bolt a couple of weeks ago..I'll have to see if I can re cut them all (and no, it wasn't washed first) Unforturnately, some of my fabric was washed, some wasn't..so I'm terrified about what will happen anyway. I guess if I sewed the strip on the bottom BEFORE I mark the pattern, then it would be positioned correctly though.
I wonder...what would happen if I sew the whole thing together before soaking the wash away thread out?
At this rate, I'll use up all my 54 precuts doing "Practice"! LOL!!
I think it would be OK to go ahead with your pre cuts if you then assemble the quilt and do the washing right at the end. You could perhaps sew a little more of a scant seam on them if you are really worried, but that practice one didn't shrink a huge amount, did it.
