What exactly is a "fussy cut"? I am a somewhat new quilter and I have seen this term used but I don't know what it is.

You will get a lot of good responses on this question. I will let the veterans explain so I don't confuse you.

it is cutting out a square, so that an element is "featured" in the squares center instead of just cutting the squares randomly. Often this is done with flowers, an animals face, a scene etc...

When you cut a feature pattern out of a fabric. Usually as a square (window) or a hexagon or circle. Fabric looks like swiss cheese afterwards.

It's when you cut out a special place in the fabric.
