Lucky you to have an Accuquilt! It would surely make EPP hexagon cutting much easier. I'm glad you enjoy knitting. I'm curious... are you hoping it gets a lot colder in Florida, so you can wear the things you create? Or do you give them away? I'm not planning anything for 2014. I have so much stash fabric, and UFOs, and "I'd like to makes" in my head, that getting to ANY of them would be a treat. I'm taking it one day at a time because, as I learned in 2013, one's health challenges can upset the best-laid plans. I hope you're able to do all you want in 2014.FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946103414362414928.post-22282344170103221682013-12-07T13:03:49.511-05:002013-12-07T13:03:49.511-05:00Jackie your quilt is just stunning.

I don't like cutting long strips either (that's why I love jelly rolls, lol) because I never seem to be able to cut accurate strips.<br />This quilt looks gorgeous!!!
