Since I have not be very successful find a template I have decided to make my own. My question is what a good size to make. I dont want anything too big nor too small.
I am going to make each of my sons a throw for Christmas and will need them to go together fairly quick.

I've done both 4 inch and 6 inch, both are pretty. If it is a smaller throw I would use a 4 inch, a large throw the 6 inch. Just my thought!

My Sister's Husband works at a sign company and she had him make her a 5" and used her charms squares for a quilt. I also found 2 smaller ones (can't remember the size) at Tuesday Morning for .99. If you have a Tuesday Morning store you might want to check them out. Sometimes they carry templets.

Find someone or store that has an AccuQuiltStudio™
and rent it for a few hours. It's super fast and easy and you'll be able to get LOTS of tops done!
