I should do something with my MO fabrics as well, I have used bits of them in blocks here and there but no major project, I like the little glimpse you have given us, looking forward to more.Piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024358673602132526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763649423522584056.post-39815365514900169332014-03-09T15:52:42.527+10:302014-03-09T15:52:42.527+10:30I always make a test block I'm not that confid...I always make a test block I'm not that confident to cut out a whole quilt.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288635333245893039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763649423522584056.post-16970947337798472582014-03-09T13:37:51.709+10:302014-03-09T13:37:51.709+10:30I usually cut a few blocks, make them, decide to m...I usually cut a few blocks, make them, decide to make a few more and then discover I don't have quite enough fabric. Not every time, but it does happen! If I'm in a hurry to get something finished (for a gift) then I'll do all the cutting at the start. I'm not a great cutter, I tend to be a bit slap dash so it's really better for me and more accurate if I cut in two or three sessions rather than all at once. If I'm following a pattern I tend to cut out the first two or three blocks and then re-calculate what the pattern calls for as I find that patterns often over estimate how much fabric is required. Ha, I didn't realise I had so much to say on this topic! I love your selection, what is the background you are using?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073979289606334160noreply@blogger.com
