I've got nearly 40 years of scraps to cut up -- and I've been at it for about the last year & a half. But its very relaxing to put on a movie I've seen before, iron a bunch of scraps & then cut them for several hours. I get 10", 5", 3.5", 2.5", 2" & 1.5" out of mine - lots of strips, except for the 10" & 5". I make scrappy quilts often, and you can't see where I take some of the precuts out to make one, there are so many. I really love that I can make a quilt without cutting up fabric, and I love scrappie quilts.
