We saw the sun at the weekend, but it’s gone again and there is rain forecast

I can generally cut 4 or 6 layers neatly with accuracy. Can you layer 4 or so fat quarters and cut them in one go so that you have at least two blocks cut to work on together? I hate hate cutting any and all quilt bits, so every project bogs down at the beginning for me, so I totally feel your pain. However, once cut, this project looks sort of quiet and peaceful to me. But some days are better for knitting. I am with you on the teenagers, I am convinced it is how we get over them being such cute kids and let them move out.

sometimes teenage issues can suck the life out of everything. take comfort in your garden, and the quilting will return. although, i’d have a hard time eagerly greeting 73 pieces!

Honestly I’m feeling a bit the same about Swoon. You have to cut up 2 whole fat quarters to make a block, plus extra white background fabric. Lots of small pieces in one huge block, lots of cutting before any piecing. BUT it does make an effective block and quilt in the end.

When I have a lot of cutting to do, I do the whole lot in one horrendously boring go (like my Marcelle Medallion), then you can get on with the sewing and it is a real pleasure. You’ll crack it somehow xxx
