Still need to cut the rest of my BG fabric. I have a directional fabric and decided to cut a 44-45" square of fabric and fold it on the cross wise grain and cut my strips that way.

RE: fabric width. Bummer, Macybaby. Sometimes fabric is 44-45", but the selvages are so wide you loose a couple of inches. When calculating yardage for projects I always use 40" to make up for any discrepancies. fq40, reduced width allows them to sell more fabric!

Last night I ran into MrOk's Mission style recliner with a solid wood frame. I hit the center of my right knee...man it hurt...now limping around today...did not go to work...haven't tried the stairs to the sewing room yet. grrr...hope it doesn't take too long to feel better.

Thanks Jane..for step 2
