I get a lot of rave reviews for my rag quilts and making them this way saves me alot of rushing.
SO, tomorrow (Mon) I'm going to my LQS and ask how much they'll charge for cutting my rag quilt squares.....OR wonder if she'll just let me do the work and cut my own. i think it is a GREAT idea to have a bunch of them made up and stashed ready to put together a quilt at a moment's notice ! The other 4 rags that I've made I've sewn together in an afternoon and spent and evening or afternoon snipping them while watching tv ! I could get really excited about having the pieces ready to go !
Thanks for the suggestion !
