I agree with the rest. Leave it as is. Just fold it nicely, never mind the ironing. You never know....you just might come across something where you just might use it as a backing

I love 2.5" strips. I have a zillion or so patterns (well, 30) for 2.5" strips so I'm getting ready to turn my stash into strips.

So maybe if you can do something like that, where you know what general shapes you need, you can cut it up

And wouldn't it be great to use some of the longer pieces for borders for a quilt... borders that you may not have to piece!?

i wouldn't cut it either

I would leave it uncut, then if something comes up and need a yard or so, cut it then. I do this if needed, otherwise I have border fabric (3 yds or so) and backings (5 plus yards), ready when I want them.

Nope I wouldn't cut it either

I'm goin' with the crowd on this one...I don't cut it. I am however going to start cutting a strip from new yardage acquisitions...just a 2.5" or a 3"...then I won't need to deal with all that lovely stacked fabric (don't I wish) just to add a piece or two to a scrap project.

cutebuns

i would leave it as well, you never know when what you need of it until you use it,

I agree, Don't cut it yet :)

Damkina

I'm with everyone else on this... Don't cut it.

You might just need those extra inches.
