I'm in again! I'll be shipping early as I have some vacation plans in July! Hope you don't mind. I'll pm you! I LOVE these swaps! four or five more and I should be ready to sew. If you think about it, I would be interested in another "lights" swap. THANKS!!!!! for doing all of this.

Do you guys have a template you use when cutting squares?
I can't seem to find one, maybe I could make one out of cardboard.

Wanda, I just use my rulers. First I cut one long strip from the WOF with my 24" ruler and the I use my 6"ruler to cut my squares. Do not use cardboard. Every time you use the cardboard it will get smaller and all of a sudden you will see that your squares are smaller. That makes it difficult to sew the squares.

I cut mine wof X 1.5", then I put several on my mat and take my June Tailor Slotted Shape Cut. It has slots every 0.5". Love it, I wanted 1 ,but was to tight to buy one. DH and I was at an estate sale and it was still new in the plastic with instructions for $3.00. Needless to say I grabbed it up real fast. Score! I use it ALOT and LOVE it!!!!!!

Ohmygosh how did I miss this? Am I to late to sign up... I'll scroll up and read the details. I'm just totally consumed in a project for my DEARmotherInlaw. She's 89 and I'm sewing all her 6 children/23 grandchildren quilts from her stash. I made 5 last week and have been cutting 4.5" squares ALL this week. I'm tired of cutting, frankly. But I know I have 1.5" strips all ready to cut down. Do I need to pm mariposa? Of course....hangs head....PMing her now... :D

Oh max sets. :D
