I even thought of just using sissors but that would be torture and I want to get these quilts done, not make a career of them. Any ideas? does anyone have a 60mm cutter and is it worth it? Amazon has them for $11.90 which is pretty good. Thanks for any imput.
The 60 mm rotary cutter is well worth the investment, especially when cutting fabrics such as flannel.

If you can afford it using the Alto's QuiltCut2 will also help.
