Retro Rows quilt pattern was featured in the Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine issue 114 and l could not be more excited about it. I was over the moon when l saw the cover and realised my quilt was gracing it. Such a pinch me moment full of warm fuzzies that will live with me forever.

When Kristy Lea of Quiet Play Designs asked if l could make a project for her new fabric collection Imagine for Riley Blakes Designs, l was ecstatic. l immediately knew which design was coming to life with this rainbow collection. I mean, who could pass on these gorgeous fabrics bursting with colour. Introducing the Flourishing quilt (there is no pattern for this one yet, but it's in the works).

Have you ever cut so many quilt pieces that you end up confused what is what? Yep, that was me this weekend, getting all muddled up after cutting up so many quilt strips that were the same width different lengths. Thanks to my not so organised quilt cutting process, l cut the wrong pieces short and wasted my precious fabric that l had just enough of. Queue Lyn throwing a tantrum after realising her mistake. I dusted myself up and decided to be more organised with my cutting process and these downloadable alphabet and number cutting/quilting labels were born.

I love to buy my fabric in yardage which means cutting width of fabric strips can be a bit tricky.  Have you ever cut your width of fabric strips and find they have a curve or bow along the fold.  The cut, though you made sure to line up you fabric with the lines on your cutting mat and ruler, still resulted in a curvy wonky strip?  That was totally me when l started but have since found a foolproof way to cut my fabric strips and have them come out nice and straight all the time.  Today l would like to share with you my way of cutting width of fabric strips that will result in a nice clean straight cut.  I use this method all the time when cutting my strips and thought to share with you too, if you also run into this problem of the curved strip.  You can use this method to cut multiple strips without the need to move your fabric too.
