I have a mess in my sewing room! I’ve been trying to ignore my messy stash, but yesterday I bit the bullet and started working to get a handle on it.
It’s so bad.
I decided to start with my patriotic fabrics. I had one basket full of random bits. I decided to cut as many pieces as I could using thus die.
I ended up with this.
That’s what one thousand 3.5 by 6.5 inch rectangles looks like! That’s enough for at least four Quilts of Valor. That isn’t everything though, I still have this mess to deal with.
I will cut as many 3.5 inch squares as I can from that pile. This is what my basket looks like now.
It was overflowing before. Time to get back to cutting. Have a great day!
Great cutting!
and really? Could you help me get my stash to your level of messy?? please???
Wow!! It looks so neat and tidy after it is cut! Is that your Arizona house or your other house? Hugs,
Love your variety. Where do you find all the enamel kitchen ware? Have a safe weekend. Cindy Nelson

For tasks like this, I can sure see why a die cutter is handy! You’ll have that lovely stash organized in no time!
I did the same thing awhile ago, cutting less than FQ pieces into 10″ squares, 5×10 bars, 5″ squares, 2.5″ strips and 2.5″ squares. It is amazing how little waste there was and now I have manageable pieces to irk with.
WOW! Great cutting job.
