Crispy_Frog, I think I was teasing you a little bit * feeling repentant now*, it just came out of my fingers before I got them off the keyboard. No offense intended. :-) I don't have any candies cut, so it would take me longer, for sure! Plus, I don't have medium/darks fabrics pulled, so that would add to the time too. I got a little ruler recently, and I'm wondering if I should use it to start cutting my scraps? That would be more time consuming than cutting yardage.
...I'm always starting something and rarely finishing, but I enjoy sewing along with a group on a project.
