so jesse at lowe's runs the big ole saw contraption that can cut giant boards ... is that a band saw? a circular saw? a cabinet saw? i'll have to ask jesse when i go back ... anyway, i had this sheet of ply wood i needed cutting up so i just took it to him and said i'd like this cut into different sized bits .. can you do this ... i don't want regular sizes or really even any the same, so just zip zip zip and you''ll be done ... he couldn't do it ... he whipped out his tape measure and gave me multitudes of perfect squares .....only on the last row of his cutting did i say can i have some that aren't squares? so .. mostly squares ... alas, i try to go outside my box with the wood, and unknowingly he tucks me right back into my box of safe squareness ... i believe that the last 200 or so canvases that i have bought have ALL been square ... square i am ....
love deeply .. pretend it's not a square for me ....

Jesse need a painting from you...maybe one that says "cut outside the box"? :-) xxxooo
Funny, yet typical! So next time tell him to cut these widths across the 48". 9", 12", 15", 16", 20", and 24" equals the 96" length of the plywood. Then cut those babies up in multiples of 4". How little/big do ya want to go? Just my quilting brain work'n here. :-)
