Normally I wouldn't use a batting but my DIL wanted this light batting so I am using it.
I think I will get the 60mm cutter and see if I can do it easier.
Thanks to all that replied. Sometimes it helps to get imput and I was really curious about the cutter.

DH got me a 60mm rotary cutter, a pair of off set batting scissors and one of those 14" scissors from Harbor Freight for Christmas. The 60 mm cutter is totally awesome, it makes cutting fluffy batting much easier. The off set batting scissors work well too, but if I had a lot to cut, my hand would get tired. The 14" scissors were just for a joke, but I am sure they will come in handy at some point.

For me, if this is indeed a QAYG, I compromise between portability and convenience. I can quilt a 12-inch block on my machine easily, so I wouldn't make anything smaller than that. Actually, I wouldn't go smaller than a 24-inch block, but that's just me.
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question completely...
