More Cutting

I know, I know, how many strips do I think I need to cut?  I'm taking a class this Saturday at my local Hancock Fabrics and I need 48 - 2.5 inch strips.  The thing is, I'm trying to use Bonnie Hunter's Scrap Savers System so after I cut the 2.5 inch strip I need, I cut the rest of the fabric into more 2.5 or 3.5 or 1.5 or 2 inch strips.  And even a few 5 inch strips.  Plus I've been rooting around the bins of fabric looking for the "perfect" fabrics. So it takes a little time.  Time well spent doing something I love, playing with fabric.
