When you cut your fabrics are you using sissors or a rotary cutter and ruler?
If you have her fabrics, maybe you should wash again on a gentle cycle just to make sure they will wash and not end up in shreds due to age. Wouldn't want to go to all the work of a quilt only to find that the fabric has pasted its prime.
I'm attempting to use a rotary cutter. It's a new experience for me and I seem to turn right when I want to go straight! :shock:
I didn't bother to wash the fabric again because I really had no intention of the practice blocks becoming anything. I'm just trying to see if I can make a block for the fall block swap without humiliating myself.
