For me, if this is indeed a QAYG, I compromise between portability and convenience. I can quilt a 12-inch block on my machine easily, so I wouldn't make anything smaller than that. Actually, I wouldn't go smaller than a 24-inch block, but that's just me.
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question completely...
I'm making two rag quilts using 6'' squares and the batting is 4 1/2''. I am cutting strips and then cutting them into the squares, but it is so awkard with the 45mm rotary cutter. I don't have problems when I make a regular quilt because the batting is much larger. I guess I am just wondering if the bigger rotary cutter would make the job easier.
