Annaquilts,
I've been thinking of sorting thru my scraps and picking out the colors I want for my next quilt. That would be like your homemade quilt kits. I have aq few projects to finish up before I start that thought!
I'm still working on my scrap 16 patch. I'm trying to get a few "extra" done because I'm going to visit family next week and won't be able to make any. I do bring some handwork to keep me busy though.
Before you buy a die cutter read the book by Ebony Love
http://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-Fa...e+cutting+tips
I read it and found out that I bought the wrong die cutter. I bought the GO but should have bought the BigShotPro. I do like my GO cutter though. I use it all the time to cut up my scraps. The wast can be controlled by how you place the fabric on the die. The book tells you a lot about that.
Keep sewing,
Cindy
