On the squares, I try to cut at least one as straight as I can, and then use the scrap as a guide for the other corners.
I wish I had one of those big cutting tables like they have at the fabric stores. It would be SO much easier. lol |
We'll my squares really aren't square....LOL.. I cant cut straight to save my life then. And I was thinking the same thing. I live in an apartment and we don't even have a table. I need a super large table now...hehe..
I have a great idea for the square pieces that are left. I might make toys for my baby with them. You can just put a squeaker on the inside and sew it up. When I bought my napsack from Chattiesmom she did that and my boy loved it. And of course it matches your blanket.
