Any of Quilters Select cutting mats and rulers. Also, I love Bloc Loc Rulers. I would love the new Oliso mini but I'm not going to pay $50. A Yazzi bag would be a treat.

I cut mine up and made a quilt for my sister. She has my parent's bedroom set. I would need to look for the picture. I did have to line all of the fabric with interfacing. Pretty loose weave.

I don't have starch buildup anymore since I follow this method. Spray the wrong side of the fabric. Let it dry, never iron wet a little damp if you want but not wet. Iron on the right side.
