Cathy - that is funny! You probably can do a pattern with a 1000 cuts, but not a beginner one like Yellow Brick Rd. It is a great pattern as you only have to match the corners of the blocks - the blocks can be turned so you don't have to match anything else. The fabric makes the quilt and each one will look different. It was a good one for me to start with and I fussy cut white Gardenias for the large pieces. To each his own.
