Well I managed to make a couple of metres too much for the scappy quilt!  I pressed all the seams open and the excess is just folded and tossed into the pink scraps box.  I don't press the fold down the centre, just fold it in half as I pin it to the edge of the trimmed quilt, sew at 1/4 inch, fold it around the edge and hand sew wherever the fold is to the line of machine stitching.

Thank you for the nice comments.

Amazing @BrendaP , what a lovely use of scraps. What do you plan to do with it when it’s finished?

It's big enough for a single bed so might get an occasional use.  THe main purpose was to get the sewing mojo back and to use up some scraps.

That looks good.   I do like striped bindings.

Toiles shoud always have a big seam allowance!

Is the waist seam sitting where your natural waist is?  Tie a length of narrow elastic around your waist (over the toile) and  move around to allow it to settle.  Does it want to be on the seam line?

@StitchinTime Those colours will make a nice masculine quilt which I think they are often needing, but do add a few brighter colours to make it pop.

Dunno about that...
I've cut some rather nice curves with the rotary blades. The biggest problems with rotary cutters are the need for a cutting mat and if the ruler slips, the straight line goes out the window.

The need for a huge cutting mat and the cost of replacing blades - even if you do sharpen them they don't last that long.

Stand over the ruler and press down; it doesn't slip if you do it properly.

I'm with @Ohsewsimple  in using the rotary cutter for bias tape or straps but I still maintain that scissors are more accurate for cutting out - look at some old GBSB programs and you'll see some really inaccurate cutting out by contestants who used rotary cutters.  I recall one who must have sliced at least a quarter inch off the pattern edge, and thus also the fabric.

   
The last scissors I bought were from Dunelm, by the tills.....£5 for 2 pairs ( small and large ) I've just cut some embroidery thread and opened a sealed plastic bag with them.....

Was the thread hanging loosely or did you pull it taut to cut it?  A while ago there were several pairs of scissors on the sales table at craft club.  Sales volunteer tried to convince me they were good and cut at all sorts of things.  I held a length of sewing thread loosely and not one of them would cut it!

I have all sorts of scissors.  The favourite for cutting out fabric are shears from Amazon, followed by Ernest Wright 8" scissors for anything tough.  For unpicking I have a teeny pair of 3.5" scissors from Ernest Wright which have very fine points for getting into individual stitches.

ETA Karen K Buckley scissors are also very good - and I religously keep paper and fabric scissors separate.
