    There's no problem. You have decided what to do. That's the first step. We have so many choices, so at least you have that done.
    press you fabric, grab that cutter and ruler and take one step at a time. It will be fun once you see some progress. Cant wait to see a photo. Happy sewing.

    Once you get started, you will wonder why it took you so long to get started. :) Think fun, not chore. I am "fixin" to start a new quilt today. First step...new rotary blade. I should have changed it one quilt back. :)
