No, I love to cut the fabric, I get a buzz out of seeing the piles of perfect squares mount up as I cut many layers, and knowing that I am almost ready to start piecing! I guess I am strange, the uncut ppieces of fabric to me are a pain, I have to wash them, cut off any frayed bit, iron it, grrr what a pain. Once its cut at least it is starting to become useful and ready to be transformed!

Oh, I just love to pet fabric. And, like you ...I'm always scared to make that first cut, but after that....boy...look out! I go to town!

For those who are looking for patterns for fabric that has a big print, I have two books I'd like to recommend.
Big 'n Easy by Judy Hopkins Lickety-Split Quilts by Laurie Bevan Published thru Martingale Publishing but I found them at the Half Price Bookstore for under $7 each. Just a thought. |
