I spent a good chunk of today ironing fabric & then cutting out the squares for my first quilt. I found this really stressful. I’m not particularly good with the rotary cutter. I have problems with my ruler slipping too. But I think I did ok. My rectangles seem to be square & all the same size, so far so good. I didn’t do myself any favors picking a couple plaid fabric either (though I decided not to stress about whether or not the plaid was straight on the squares). This is about 120 rectangles though I only need 10 of each fabric. I figured it was worth having extras. Next I have to cut out 100 squares of my plain fabric but my shoulders were too sore to continue on today.
