(((Michelle))), your, 'dumb' (NOT), question, just helped me a lot!!!
I love to sew, and quilt, but find it is a slow process for me now, due to my fibromyalgia.
Ppl on here gave some wonderful tips, and support for our 'world'...uggh, who wants to live here? but we do, and if we want to quilt, we have to figure out how.
So glad you posted this, I never thought about anyone else doing the cutting. We FM-ers, are very aware of how physical this art is. For now, I will just keep cutting when I can, and then moving on to other things, till I can get back to it, but the idea of having stuff already cut and ready to sit for a bit and sew...whewee...makes me think of my younger days. :D
