I don't think it's a problem as long as you aren't selling them. You're not making templates with a hole in them, which might put you on shakier ground. Your're making 2 square templates - and for Fun N Done you'll use one 2" smaller than the other. And you can use the rest of the plexiglass to make all different size squares and rectangles - and triangles, for that matter. Mark the sizes with Sharpies on masking tape.

Hey, great tutorial! I didn't know that way of doing it - when I've done QAYG, I've always slip stitched the backing down by hand! I must try this way! BW - like the idea of using a picture frame instead of forking out for the template. You only need the frame part - just draw round the inside for the backing and the outside for the batting, right?!

os is right. the outline of the frame is for the piece that is the back of the quilt. it's the one that turns over to become the sashing. the smaller shape, the small sqaure hole, is the shape and size for the batting and the fabric you want to use as the show-off piece. when you view the quilt, you'll see this smaller one, surrounded by the larger, turned over fabric. picture a wrapped binding. that's what each block will look like. look at the video:
