The summer has been real hot and I can't turn the sewing machine, iron and air conditioner on all the same time without tripping the circuit breaker, so I have been cutting all my fabric scraps in same manner. I get up around 5 am to press the fabrics, and after breakfast I start cutting. Now, all I need to do is to buy some clear plastic boxes so I can sort them by size. Not sure what to make with them, but there will be enough to make some baby quilts.
