Newbie with a bajillion squares- where do I start?
Hi all,
I’ve just been given a giant stack of 5x7 inch fabric rectangles in about six different patterns. I am a bit paralyzed by the volume. I thought that I would try to make two twin bed quilts for the fabric supplier’s nieces but don’t quite know how to start designing a suitable layout.
Unfortunately they are rectangular pieces rather than squares, which makes things a bit trickier unless I go through them individually and cut them all down to 5 inch squares. That would definitely dull my rotary cutter by the time I got through it all.
At those measurements I could make a 35 inch strip using 7 pieces vertically or 5 pieces horizontally.
any advice on how to proceed from here?
