Quilting is good exercise!
Yesterday, I had time to start to cut fabric for a new quilt. (What follows may not be in exact order.) #quiltsky #quiltinggoodexercise
Started by bringing the pieces downstairs from the sewing area to a large enough table with cutting boards on it. Went back for the book with the pattern in it. Went back for a longer ruler. It was already downstairs. Went back for paper to take notes because the cutting was complicated. Went back for painter's tape to tape rulers together because of the length of the fabric. Went back for a tape measure because I was tired of counting and adding the half inches on the rulers and coming up with different numbers. Went back for scrap fabric because the technique was one I hadn't done before and I didn't want to try it on the actual fabric. Went back for safety pins so I could pin notes labelling the pieces I'd cut. Went back for clips instead because I didn't want to pin through paper and 8 layers of fabric. It might distort the fabric. Brought most of the materials back up the stairs when I was done cutting for the day.
