I've been going crazy all day today trying to coordinate several batiks for a Bento Box wall quilt. I thought it would be so easy- NO!!
I still haven't cut them and I'm mad!!! I know once they are cut the sewing will go well, uh, maybe I shouldn't say that LOL :D

I just want to see results and enjoy the process.

I cut a little, sew a little. Hate cutting.

When I do a rotary cutting piece, I usually spend about three days cutting. Bleh. It helps make paper piecing more enjoyable. :0)

It depends, sometimes everything goes together like buttering toast other times it's like making a twelve course meal. Sometimes a fabric will tell you what it wants to be and which ones it wants with it. Other times it's just a struggle and the fabrics fight you.
