And geometric prints are a total pain in the patooty. Ugh...why didn't I think of this before? Of course, I love the fabric I picked for the girls quilts, so I suppose I wouldn't do anything different. I just wasn't prepared for the fact that it would be difficult to fold the fabric and cut it so that the patterns lined up well and didn't end up crooked (of course, I SHOULD have thought of this). That all being said, cutting the pieces out for the quilt is proving to be a much easier and quicker process than I had anticipated. I have all but three yards of the fabric cut (and one of those yards is still on its way -- boo on back orders). Rotary cutters are the bomb!
The best part of this project? I'm getting lots of time to catch up on old movies. Today I broke out "Anne of Green Gables". It makes me think of middle school and my friend Elaine and how we could watch the two movies in the series over and over and over. It also made me realize how much better DVDs are than VHS tapes (something I don't think about because I NEVER watch VHS tapes anymore). It took me 20 minutes to get the movie going because our VCR would spit the tape out instead of rewinding. Not sure if the problem is the tape or the machine, but I'm definitely not replacing the machine at this point. I'm having the urge to re-read the series now, even though it is seriously an inappropriate reading level for me. Of course, I've read them probably 15 times already, but the last reading was probably 14 years ago.
