Organization is my thing when it comes to making a quilt, I just love the cutting out and sorting and then when putting it together, everything is ready to go. I enjoyed seeing how you organized your project, and especially the idea of labeling your border fabrics - I need to start doing that too.

I like to break it up if I can. Cutting is my least favorite part of quilting and it's not good for my lower back! Your project looks wonderful!

I'm new to the whole quilting process...but I think it's easier to cut it all out first (because like you I hate cutting) if I don't do it at the beginning I'm fearful that I won't finish it!

You'll have this project done alot quicker since your cutting is done this way. I label my stuff too, especially pieces that are real close to the same size. A little bit of organization just makes everything go easier.

Call me crazy! LOL But unless it's a BOM, I cut out everything at once most of the time. I tend to get on a roll when I sew (when I have time) and having to stop to cut out more fabric can bring the whole production to a halt. <br /><br />I do label my fabrics like you do too. One of the quilts that I'm working on is done in sections - that one I'm actually cutting out as I get to the sections. If I didn't have labels on them as to what they were I would be absolutely lost - given that sometimes I start a project and then don't finish it for 6 months later.<br /><br />Love your fabric you've chosen for the quilt. It's going to be wonderful.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946103414362414928.post-91301947994008824202011-08-15T08:47:36.474-04:002011-08-15T08:47:36.474-04:00Wow, that was a whole lot of cutting.
