I just have to ask myself if I'd rather be vacuuming! Also keep a picture of the finished, beautiful quilt in your mind or nearby. Cutting is just the first step and probably the most important! I do it where I can watch TV or listen to the radio. And it will get easier...

I must be the odd ball because I actually like cutting fabric. I often find myself cutting for many more projects than I can possibly do. I get started cutting scraps for one project and a sudden idea comes to me and I start cutting on yet another quilt. Needless to say I have several 'ready to go' quilts projects. And when I don't feel like working on a project, I'm cutting my scraps into 2" to 6 1/2" squares and 2 1/2" strips. Anyone else do that or am I just too anal?
