Taking apart 156 squares is just too much work for me. This material cost less than $20, so my effort in doing so, wouldn't be worth it.
I have a metal ruler, but nothing else. Yes, I do have a rotary cutter.
The cost of the sewing machine, and a few other things like thread and needles had my budget in a pinch. I need to pay off what I spent on plastic over the next three to four months before I can invest in anything else.
Being a beginner, I never stashed material like all of you have over the years of your quilting and sewing. I figure this start of my journey will take about a year to gather what I need to get things doing properly. I'm patient. I waited for years to get into some things. Always have my other things like building my real cobblestone driveway (not bricks- real stones)
Anyway, I will just fold up what I have until I figure out what to do with the mess.
