cutting, cutting, cutting.......

For the last 2 weeks I have spent a little time every day cutting kits for an upcoming colorwash class.  I offered kits to my students and they all said yes.  I am cutting for myself too as I always need new variety added into the the many trays of squares that are already cut.  I have cut over 6000 batik 2.5" squares.  If you are picturing me cutting them one at a time, stop!  I cut 3 strips from 4 fabrics at a time (8 layers) and cut 2 of the strips into squares and 1 for reserve to cut later into rectangles and squares.  There are 234 strips in this photo.  Now I am cutting African fabrics for another student and for myself. 
Today I'm taking a day off and going out with the girls!
