Carrie: Thanks for the link. I quickly read through it and that is the way I made my "block kits". I cut through 8 layers all at the same time. I think that method goes a long way towards keeping those bias edges from being pulled out of shape. Hope you will post pictures when the quilt starts to emerge.
WMUT & TK: I think your imagining that the process is a lot harder then it really is. It takes a lot of fabric because you are making almost a whole quilt out of one fabric. The quilt I made is 100" by 100". Wish I had taken a picture of the fabric before I cut it all up. If my memory serves, this was actually a home dec fabric that was 60" wide and on sale. I really think any large print fabric will work, so don't let fear of picking the wrong fabric discourage you. It really and truly is a lot of fun.
