Thanks, I won't be pre-washing my fabrics anymore. I thought the suggestion to do so might help things, but it created a nightmare. I am recovering the fabric the best I can by pressing it back flat. Since I don't have enough fabric to use the 3.5 inch fabric cutting square, I am going to wait until I obtain a cutting ruler, which will be 3 inches wide.

My idea at using this fabric is to cut it to three inches wide that I can dew in a long strip. It's kind of like using scraps to make a quilt. I will alternate these strips and the long 2.5 inch strips I purchased from "Connecting Threads", and finally put a border around the whole mess.

I doubt I will put a back or cotton center into it. I just want to see if I can create something out of all this mess.

Anyway, back to pressing fabric to get most of the wrinkles out.
