Here are the essentials to cutting your fabric for a quilt:
Of course, if you want a cutting ruler that isn't broken in several places, it will work, too. ;0)
I have tried doing it without these things and I DON'T recommend it!
Some people recommend washing and ironing your fabric before you cut- I definitely recommend ironing, but I don't wash the fabric. I don't really have too much of a reason, other than I am lazy.
Once you have all your supplies and fabric-- have at it! If you have a pattern- cut as directed. If you don't have a pattern- have fun! Some of my favorite quilts are made without a specific pattern.
And that's about it. Last little tidbit to leave you with-- the more accurate your cutting, the easier the sewing and quilting.

Hi, I have just reached your fantastic blog, I don't know how! And found your splendid quilts...I have always loved patchwork, but never tried...Could you give me some tips for a beginner (I am refering to someone who does not know how to use the sewing machine to obtain straight lines ;D )
Thank you for sharing your work!
I am sorry, don't all rulers look like this? Mine sure do!!! It comes from having God's two footed blessings running around interested in everything that I do!!
Blessings,

That's gorgeous! I'm going to start saving my scraps. I found this via the photo you posted in the One pretty THing FLickr pool, thanks so much for uplaoding that.
I love color and this is a very clever use of a scrap stash.
