I finished recutting them last night, ironed them all with wetting them with mary ellen press...so taking the chance. when I FMQ it I will use a smaller stipple. If worst comes to worst my cats will get this quilt. (not that they want it...its the first time they have not rolled on my fabric - the blocks are all laid out on the floor and not of the cats have laid on them. That also is a first.) The fabric feel is yuky...not sure I really want to give this to my mother. Very disappointed in the fabric...colors are very pretty but the feel is very odd and the way it shrunk was really weird..at least I learned on materail that I did not pay 12.00 a yard on .
