I made a quilt early on that was Trip Around the World. I didn't know how to properly use a rotary cutter. My mother brought home the fabric from a trip to visit her sister and a quilt we were going to copy. We made cardboard squares and rotary cut around those. Had to keep making new ones as the rotary cutter would slice off the cardboard. It is a wonder the quilt turned out.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-51072553991533226862013-02-01T14:07:01.146-06:002013-02-01T14:07:01.146-06:00What a fabulous quilt!.
