Has he specifically rejected the rotary cutting aspect of modern quilting? His fabrics and color combinations are certainly modern. I know I can figure out the cutting on my own; they are simple shapes. But I hope someone might have read an interview or something where he explains the absence of a staple of modern quilting. Any thoughts?
Why would you need instructions? a four inch square is a 4 in square if you tear it, use scissors or a rotary cutter---------or even have your pet mouse chew it for you?
