Before you cut! Have you thought about re-dying the fabric to a color you would like? You can get Rit's dye at most grocery stores and it's really easy to do. I have done it on several occasions and it worked great. I even had a piece of hideous floral that was so ugly no one wanted it in a quilt, not even a give away so I throw it in the washer with some blue Rit's dye and it came out so pretty. Anyway, it's a thought.

What a nightmare. I dont even have enough floor space to lay it out. I really dont have a clue where to start. Thought I would cut it into 9' strips, then cut the strips into blocks. Sounds good... right? But how do I get it to fold in the center and over and over to get it on my cutting board???? cant seem to get it to lay straight. Can anyone offer help here... ready to go back to crocheting
stuff. Thanks in advace, you people are the best!
