Thank you everyone for all the amazing advice! I'm really seeing how everyone has a different style. I've got a lot of new ideas on how to start this! I know it's a big quilt for my first quilt- but I like a challenge! I think doing it block by block is an excellent idea! I also cut out a bunch of the smaller colored blocks, just to have them for later. I really appreciate everyone's feedback!

There are some really good videos on youtube that show how to cut fabric and for beginners.

Hi everyone- I just started quilting recently. I used to sew with my mom when I was a kid, but only clothing. I have a quilt picked out as my first quilt that I'm going to make, and I already have all the fabric for it... But I'm already stuck. I know this seems like a very elementary question, but I just need some good tips. I need to cut out 112 pieces of my white fabric for the background, but I can't figure out the best way to cut my fabric! I mean, I can cut 112 pieces individually, but that sounds awful! I can't figure out the best way to fold my fabric to minimize cutting time. I just feel like every time I fold my fabric I'm going to cut it wrong!
Any advice would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Yes, I do have a rotary cutter and a mat, and two different sized rulers. This is the pattern I'm making:http://www.freshlemonsquilts.com/?p=1016
It seems like it shouldn't be too bad for a beginner!
