Starting new blocks...........

I started cutting the Roberta Horton plaids and stripes from the 1990s with my log cabin die.  I had a bunch of the plaids and stripes that I hadn't washed so I did a load yesterday and got most of them pressed.  We were advised to wash them back when they first came out because they would probably shrink more than other quilting cottons. They are really soft, about the same weight as the Kaffe shot cottons.  I thought I might have to starch them but they cut just fine with the die cutter without it.  The strips are 1" finished and the block will be 12" finished. I have a lot more cutting to do.  I think I have at least 80 different fabrics.
