Advice needed: How to cut fabric
Our church has been given a large amount of quilting fabric that we plan to use to make 20 large lap quilts (60"x72") for a children's home.
We're starting what I call a weekly "Quilt Block Party" and asking for volunteers to come make blocks and as we get enough for a quilt, we will put it together by tying. Some ladies will sew, some press, some tie depending on their comfort level.
Would you have the fabric pre-cut ( what size) so volunteers could just come in, grab some fabric & start to sew or what? I'm leaning to simple patterns like 4-patch, 9-patch, etc. for a 12" finished block. No sashings & no borders.
Another goal is to get our youth interested in learning how to sew so we will be working with all skill levels.
Oh, and another goal: have quilts done by Christmas.
