After cutting all afternoon, I now have all 80 blankety blank blank cars cut. The ones I couldn't fussy cut, I just decided to cut the cars however and center it around the flags instead. Then cut down the 40 coordinating squares. Now I have all 180 squares cut. Maybe this week I'll get some of them stitched together. The stitching will be the easy part. The hardest parts are done.
I'm not totally satisfied with how the focus fabs ended up cut, but I'm mostly happy with it. Happy enough to get it done for the little guy anyway. I don't think I'll hate looking at it when it's down now.
Thanks again for the nudges...sure needed them. Will post WIP pics once I get going.
