I started cutting my fabrics into different size pieces for a couple of sampler quilts I thought I would do. Then I realized I was doing all my blocks in multiples of 2 1/2" x ? pieces, so I have now decided to cut all my yardage into 10"x wof. If I have a pieces that is less than 10" I will cut it into 7 1/2" or 5" or 2 1/2" whichever works. I'm planning to work up yardage requirements on a few of my favorite scrappy quilts so I can take x# strips of each color in a hurry to get them done. No more pullling out the various fabrics and measuring and calculating, and going crazy trying to make my scrappy quilts work.
Happy stitching
