A Trip Around the Wool:  Cutting

Wool2-19

Cut Fabric 

Cut all your wool into 4" squares by first cutting each piece into three 4" inch strips. Then cut three 4" squares from each strip. You will be able to get nine 4" squares out of each piece of wool. This is a job for your rotary cutter since it's important that each of these squares is as exact as possible. This way the blanket will come together neatly and squarely. If you need some guidance on how to use a rotary cutter, take a look at our Rotary Cutting Tutorial.

Organize Fabric

Keep all the squares of each color together. It will make your next step a lot easier.
