Well, I bit the bullet and started. I went to a sewing store, bought supplies like the rotary cutter and cutting board and started cutting today. I'm going to make a dresden plate quilt with 48 squares. I cut out two squares today and am going to try to get up each morning and do at least one. The only problem I have is that it hurts my back while bending over to cut. I can't seem to do it sitting down. Any suggestions? i'm open for pointers.
