I love the Cathedral Window Quilt in your Avatar. I really want to make one for one reason because I love hand work and another because they are o colorful and pretty. I think the center in bright batic would be very pretty. Your is very beautiful, I wish I could see a bigger picture.

I buy the 2 1/2 gallon bags as well as the 2 gallon bags and 1 gallon bags and use which ever is appropriate for the project. Makes it easier to see through, and take with me or work on at home.

And its alot cheaper too!!!

This is very important. I just found a zip lock bag with cut strips that I remember cutting, but can't for the life of me remember what the pattern was. Maybe I'll know it if i run across the pattern later.

As great as the idea sounds, I always end up with sortof wrinkled pieces. Having to then iron them all - well, went there a couple of times and won't again. If you have a pizza box to keep them flat, great, but I never found that the 2 gallon ziploc was adequate.

I like the veggies bags because they 'breathe' and lay flatter than one that seal tight.

Make sure you keep your scraps, just in case you have an opps.

Just an observation, it is easier on your body to switch jobs every so often. I would get really tired of that much cutting if it was me, but that is just me!

Someone mentioned here that she puts all the fabric, any books and patterns in a tub with it.
