HI,
First off, I am very new here, and even newer to quilting.... My mother however is a quilter from wayyyy back.
I have gotten it into my head (I don't know where from!!) to make my Mum a quilted wall haning for Christmas. I know she would be SO excited to see something that I have started and finished without having her finish it off for me.
Anyway, I am going great, I have got all my fabric assembled (washed dryed and ironed) but my instructions tell me to ;~
Cut one 1 1/2inch strip and crosscut two 1 1/2 x 10 inch strip and two 1 1/2 x 11 inch strips. (all of this is from 1/8 of a yard of fabric)
Can anyone help me with understanding what this means????
Thank you so much
Nicole

I think it means this:
Fold fabric selvage to selvage (the edges that have white or writing on them, or seem to be bound)
Then cut out your strip.
From the strip; sub-cut the other strips.
Hope this help and some of the more experianced here can help.
