Re: Northern Start Quilt
You will cut the strips WOF and then subcut them to the size it says. At that point you will cut off the selvages - you do not want to use them in the quilt, as they don't have the same 'ease' as the rest of the fabric. (I know a lady who saves all her selvages and begs for others! She makes strip quilts out of them. Kind of like rag quilts, except they don't fray!!)

TC - Welcome!
When I first started doing the geese blocks, I didn't have the ruler... you will be totally amazed at how much easier the rulers make it!!!! You could probably do a quilt top in a day with those rulers.

<giggle> I too HAD to have that book/dvd combo. Went on-line and did just that. I also ordered flannels...Just can't beat those prices with 25% off.

Re: Northern Start Quilt
With everyone's help, I started cutting out blocks about an hour ago! I have all my light colored blocks completed. I'm excited to try the flying geese rulers when they arrive.

Re: Northern Start Quilt
Oh, my, yes, Gramma Ann!!! My heart started going faster and faster!
TC - welcome, sorry I ignored you in the rush to order that pattern!!!
In all reality, I had seriously, seriously thought about getting that pattern when I ordered, but passed it by (yeah, I know - I really didn't, did I??) Actually, I got side-tracked by work!
TC, it will make a HUGE difference!!
