I had sewed garments all my life. My first quilt was a Just Can't Cut it. It is a very beginner friendly quilt. You only have to match the corners where the pieced and solid blocks meet.
I didn't buy the pattern. I looked at the pattern and the finished size and figured out that is was a 12" finished block. Therefore, the 12" pieced block would be 2 pieces cut 6 1/2 square and the other half of the block would be 3 fabrics cut 6 1/2 x 4 1/2. The hardest thing was figuring out where to place the fabrics. I made it with WM fabrics. I didn't want to waste any money on "good" fabrics. 30 washings or more later, it is still going strong. The one thing I would have done differently would be to have made the outside border wider. I had the material, just didn't see the need.
