Do You Cut Your Quilt Pieces from Templates?
#1
I was looking at some of Amy Butler's free quilt patterns on her website, and was impressed with how much those simple designs lent themselves to construction shortcuts, such as strip piecing, then cutting. Yet, she had every tiny piece cut by template and then sewn together. It could have been so much easier! How many of you cut each piece individually and then put them together that way? I think I'd quit quilting if I couldn't use shortcuts in the construction. :lol:

It depends on the piece. I am doing a drunkards path and it requires templates. Most other things I strip piece and then cut. Next on my list is a log cabin that is stripped pieces then the triangles are cut. I'm all for shortcuts or easier ways of doing things.

I totally agree with you.
I totally agree with you.
If you are careful it works fine, but a rotary cutter is so much easier on my hands than the scissors
