How Do You Cut Fabric Squares For Quilting?

Quilts made of squares can be very simple looking or can look very modern and sleek, depending on the fabric you choose. All quilts made with square patches are good for beginning quilters as putting squares together is the easiest type of quilt block to make. The only problem that may arise is if the fabric squares aren't even in size.

That is why cutting accurately is so important; in fact, it is the most important step in making your quilt. Wash, dry and iron your fabric if you prefer to work with unstarched fabric in your quilts. If you prefer the crisper feel of unwashed fabric, go on to the next step.

Fold the fabric in half so that the selvages, the woven edges of the fabric piece, are touching. Lay the fabric on the cutting board with the selvages at the top and the cut end of the piece laying to the right. Slide the fabric towards the right until the cut edge is slightly past the 1-inch mark.

Line the top selvage edges up with one of the lines on the board, but don't worry ... more.
