I don't ever pre cut every piece for a quilt. Maybe because I am not that kind of organized person. I usually make scrappy quilts and make one block to try out the pattern and see if I like it or can make it an easier way or save fabric if I cut it another way, etc. Then I make lots of blocks and decide on sashing to join them together and maybe cornerstones, then borders. The finished quilt is usually a surprise that is quite different from what I thought it would be. Could be wonderful or something that I would make other choices if I were to do it over again. HA It is kind of an adventure to me, like putting a puzzle together and being surprised by the outcome. Of course, we are all different and some of you would never want to quilt this way. But, it is all fun to me.
