Precision cutting. Precision piecing. Did I say starch?
Sewing with 1.5" pieces is everyday sewing for me. Making my Dear Jane quilt in the late 90's cured me of worrying about piece size. This is the border on one of my Kudzu quilt, all 1.5" pieces (1" finished) Fun! and did I say starch? It's fun!
