I admit that I am so glad when I get a quilt cut out. I get tired before I finish cutting. I want to sew, not cut. I know some of you have shared that cutting is your favorite part of quilting. Since, I make bed size quilts all the time, it takes me hours to cut out a quilt. My latest adventure is a queen size quilt that uses lots of 1-1/2" strips and all of those strips are sewn together to make 4 patch and 16 patch units--need I say more?? Lots of cutting and sewing on this one.

Do you cut out the entire quilt at one time or do you wait to cut the borders, binding, etc.

I will start. I always use spray starch to press my fabric before I start cutting. This just makes the fabric cut so much easier.

And I change my rotary cutter blade at the first sign that it is dull. I have no patience for a dull rotary blade.
