newbie question!!!

I have to cut the shorter strips because I do not have a space long enough to cut WOF. It works for me just fine. I believe you have to do what makes you feel comfortable with what you are doing therefore you will enjoy the process.

I have to ask if you are using a rotary cutter? and are you folding your fabric in half....cutting 2 thicknesses at once? Most times when I am cutting strips, I will fold fabric down so I am cutting 4 at once....so much easier to work with and much faster done. And you are cutting from selvage to selvage, right?

the worst part is that I have another baby quilt to do, a "Millers Daughter" (Stars through the window) pattern and I have all the fabric for it (all 100% normal cotton). But I have to finish this one first.
Hope I make all the mistakes on this one....
and I do feel better hearing that some others have not always enjoyed working with the flannel...
