Ouch is right!! Usually I cut a fingernail off or someway the top of my knuckle gets a little slit. Went and looked at strips here and there from previous quilts and pieces, cut, cut and have enough blocks of 12 and probably enough in the bin for 6 or 8 more. Hmmm guess I just keep cuttin'. Didn't make a dent, if anyone needs some let me know and I'll send it to you, it would be a surprise. Please please don't cut into your "good" fabric for scrappy I'll send you all you want, if you're not doing controlled. So here's the pics............totally scrappy, usually I do strips of different quilts I've made all year.

They recognize the material, kinda' cool and yep I keep those scrappy ones.
