I has been nearly a month and a half since I posted new rectangles I have cut for the FOTY 2014 piece. Before the past weekend, I felt like I haven’t been in my sewing room much in the past month. I know I have been in there, at least a little bit, since there have been no shortage of posts to prove it.
I didn’t press and cut very much in that time, though, so the wall where I keep new rectangles has looked the same all this time. Then Friday I started pressing fabric and cutting some new rectangles with a vengeance.
I went to put them away and found my container full, so I have to figure out what to do about that. The work room overfloweth, that is for sure.
Do you only cut rectangles from fabric you are using on a project, or finished projects?
I pick a new shape every year. I like doing squares and rectangles the best.
Yes, I understand, my question is, do you cut the fabrics out after you finish a quilt, or as it’s still in progress?
I cut fabrics after I wash and press the yardage. If the fabric is for a specific project and I don’t think I will have enough to cut a piece for the FOTY quilt, then I will wait until the end and see. Or I will buy more. 😉
