Oh my goodness! I remember those meters to measure fabric! I had forgotten all about them too.

Before the rotary cutters and rulers it was a real work of love to make a quilt. We used the cardboard and draw around it method. I say god bless those inventive women who thought up using the rotary cutters and mat. And, the patternmakers who figured out all those great block shortcuts made with them today. Not to mention the computer to help plan out the quilts and the quilting with a long arm.

Could you imagine those women seeing the tools we have today? They would just flip!
