Connecting Threads Kinetics pattern kit - help!
I purchased the Connecting Thread's Kinetics Quilt. I am going to cut strips and the directions have me cutting the strips lengthwise on the fat quarters instead of selvage to selvage. Will this make my strips stretch? It appears there would be enough fabric to cut the strips selvage to selvage. Not sure which way to cut them. Any help would be appreciated.

it is probably less wasteful to cut them lengthwise---since fat quarters are 18" x 22" (the 22" being the salvage to center) -- if you only need the 18" lengths ...and you cut them the other way you probably cut off (waste) 4" that is not used- and- like Prism99 said===lengthwise is the least stretchy *weave* of the fabric.
