Jan,It's just lousy outside, cooler than I expected, not as much rain either.. I wanted to go out today but some family business needed to be taken care of so that messed up my whole day...I'm just cutting triangles & squares in between everything else.. I have completed blocks so far of the wildlife flannel..I'm having a problem with the rotating mat I have been using .. there are grooves with fabric stuck in it and it's hard to remove...I'm wondering what I can use to get it out.. any suggestions anyone they feel like bumps and the fabric won't cut at the bumps...
