When you cut around a particular image in the fabric to be one of the pieces. For example in this tablerunner he fussy cut around the cardinals. If you were making a tablerunner with snowflakes and winter and found fabric of a snowman, you could fussy cut the snowmen the block or piece size you wanted.
