THINK, FRANCES, THINK!!

I often try to give you a tip or product review on Tuesdays…

My tip for this week is to ….

Here is an example of when I didn’t think…..

I was working on one of my guild challenge blocks, and there were two squares next to each other in the same fabric.

My thinking was this….

WHY should I cut TWO 1.5-inch squares, just to sew them back together again?

WHY not, just cut a rectangle, 1.5 by 3.0?

Maybe THIS is why…..

Because that rectangle should have been cut 2.5-inches by 1.5-inch!!

Fortunately, it was an easy fix, but it would have been even better if I had USED MY HEAD and cut it the correct size to begin with…..

REMEMBER…..
