I could say the same about cutting through scraps. I set a day aside to do just that .. cut. What happened is I couldn't cut some of the fabric because of warnings I'd received here. (Not complaining just took your advice) Sooo, I rough cut some stuff. After putting together 8 quilt sets, 3 table runners, lots of mug rugs, I just put the roller blade away. I walked out of my sewing studio and realized I hadn't put much of a dent in what was in there. So much for cutting up scraps .. I'd just made a lot more work for me, but I love it just the same. And to think I just ordered more fabric. Whats wrong with me?? Oh..I'm a quilter. Hey that's good!
