I have nothing fancier than my rotary cutter Istace. Will never win awards for my cutting either but it hasn't been an issue for this project. Nothing all that difficult but it sure is time consuming, especially when 16 blocks are to be done in one day. Still, this is keeping my mind occupied and peaceful. When this is done, will have something positive to remember about this sheltering. Am also using fabrics from my stash. Have some fabric scraps of her previous fabrics and am including them where I can.
