This is step two: iron and cut the fabrics. With a rotary cutter, mat and template these TONS of squares don't take nearly as long as they could. And they are much straighter!! :-) We decided for our twin sz quilts we want to use flat twin sheets for the backing, so we knew we needed 8 squares across and 12 squares down. 96 squares!!! (don't worry it goes faster than it sounds. We cut 4 squares to 6 squares at a time depending on the thickness of our fabric) We needed at least 12 of each fabric.(8 fabrics)
