Hello Quilty Friends! The Flea Market Jelly Roll Strips are all cut, de-pinked ready for action.
Trimming off the pinked edges was a little more tedious than expected. And OH MY WHAT A MESS it made. A pretty little mess, don't you think? Am I the only one that admires the bits of scraps in their trash can?
After tossing the cute little visible scraps in the trash it was time to tackle the invisible scraps. It's shocking how much lint couldn't be seen but would've shown up on the white background fabric. A quick rolling with a sticky tape lint brush took care of all the fuzzy offenders. Now it's safe to start cutting the background fabrics later today.
Ooh, are you saying you clean up your cutting mat with a lint tape roller? That's genius! Thanks for sharing the tip!
