I'm making it for my grandson's birthday, which is the beginning of May. Good thing I have plenty of time to get it figured out! lol!!
that slotted ruler has been a life saver for me but I have screwed up once or twice an not counted my stripes just rigt an ended up short 1/2inch.But it didnt matter in mine i was cutting strips for log cabin quilts out of scrapes I was given.SO enjoy your ruler.If cutting a lot of the same size mark your lines that your cutting an that'll make it easier.Thats what I'm going to start doing on big stuff.
