Hi bmh8110 - I am cutting strips at the 3" width (background fabric) and then when only need a 2.5" piece, trim off that much. For the bold colors, I am being more thrifty. But I wouldn't cut out a square corner of a piece of fabric, as I feel the rotary cutter leaves a little tear or cut where I may not want it next time. I'd be sure to cut the strip at the larger size needed and then trim down. Hope this helps.

Do you cut strips only if you know you will be using the rest of the strip in other blocks? Don’t want to run out of fabric if I cut strips which would be my first inclination.

PaolaRB OFFLINE Posts: 59 Thank you received: 266	I have just started the Kaffe Mystery Quilt and have been quilting about 2 years. Decided to do this to practice, practice, practice my block skills as I have been delving into art quilts. I love to do thread painting portraits. Anyway, here are my three block thus far using the Brassica fabric as my color choice inspiration. Attachments: Block1.jpg (51KB) Block2.jpg (55KB) Block3.jpg (61KB)
