Cut fabrics into strips, then lay them on your mat, and gently cut the edge curved. Place that strip on top of the next fabric strip barely overlapping, then follow the cut of the first one, and repeat the same step to the next strip. Keep cutting the strips until you have enough for the type of quilt that you want, then start stitching them one at a time with ¼ inch seam allowance, and when you sew make sure to line the edges together as you go. Also remember to not pull the fabric, then once done, press the seams open or in either direction.
