Process Tip: Keeping Track of Pieces When Cutting

It's the day after the block directions for the Pumpkin Patch went "live" which means you might already be into your stash getting ready to cut - or perusing your stash in your daydreams while you do other things:)

{get your Pumpkin Patch block directions here}

The wall hanging will require 5 of the pumpkin patch blocks and you might be cutting from several different background fabrics to make them - I did!

Here is how I kept track of what I needed:

I start with a sticky note {top left} that lists all the different number of pieces and sizes of each. Then as I start to get some of each size cut, I make an individual note for each pile.

The individual note marks off on the right side the total number needed.
Then I start cutting and write down how many I cut.

When I cut from another background fabric, I write down the new number of cut pieces.



I've used this method in the past when I had a lot of cutting to do and didn't do it all in one sitting. Keeping track is a lot easier than recounting that cut pile over and over again!

Hope that helps you enjoy the process!
