I agree with everyone but she sure is a whiz with the rotary cutter & ruler (even the short one). Just think what she could do with a longer ruler

I would buy some if I came across it. I love the Dresden Plate they did at the end. The possibilities seem endless. I see they had a problem with it...http://www.marcusbrothers.com/featur...l#.UadMD8vD_cs

I wonder how expensive it is! Great idea if you need a quilt in a hurry!

Paint by numbers.

Maybe they could invest in a rotating cutting mat too.

Having them printed perfectly straight would be "the problem." If they can do it, this would be great for people like me who can't sew a straight line! (Yes, I've tried making marks on fabric, putting guides on machine, etc.) If they had fabrics in colors/patterns I liked, I think it would be worth a shot.

It has it's place. Like a cheater fabric or a panel that we use all the time to get a quilt done in a speedier fashion. Will these ever be passed along as "heirloom" quilts? Maybe, maybe not but the reciever of a lovingly made homemade quilt will enjoy it's warmth and meaning anyway. And all those charity quilts can be made a little faster giving you time to do even more of the time-consuming projects that you enjoy.
