(I love cropping; it makes my block look so square! Ha, ha, only in the quilting world is it good to look square!)

Getting Started
I cut out just the first fabrics for the new shop sample quilt. I know the designers do their best to avoid mistakes, but sometimes they slip through. So I made the first ones to make sure the block instructions were ok and they were. I always get a little nervous cutting out a shop sample. If it's a quilt for me, it's no big deal if I miscut, I'll just go get more fabric. If I mess up the shop sample fabric and have to go get more, how embarrassing...all the ladies there will know I messed up! So far so good on this one though!

I love cropping too. It is so satisfying!
ReplyDeleteSilly woman...we all goof shop samples. Join the club!
ReplyDeleteNaturally, shortly after I posted this, I cut wrong, a 3 1/2 by 3 1/4 "square"! But I had enough of a strip left over to get the right size!

ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting fabric and design. Cant wait to see more of it. Almost a vintage look to it. Love it.
ReplyDeletePretty block, I like the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. So our new saying as quilters should be it is hip to be square. I can not wait to see how this quilt turns out. The quilt block is beautiful.
