24 years ago, there was a DRW method called Rings that Bind. I made several of them. Very easy and it was quilt as you go. It looks amazing when finished. I don't have any pictures, before uploading era for me. I sold them all at guild auction, all throw size. If you find a used book be sure the acrylic template is included. .

That's a great tip - thank you!
I have spent a very long time planning, starting and stopping my DWR. I started cutting out the kite-shaped corner pieces simply because they are the smallest (and I'm fussy-cutting my fabric). Then I shifted focus and started a practice one and ran into more slippage cutting the larger pieces. I've bought a rotating cutting board and a small wheel cutter so adding your tip will give me about as much support as is possible. Honestly, this whole journey is intimidating the heck out of me.

I've always used basting spray on the backs of my rulers and templates. It is non-slip and washes off easily with rubbing alcohol.

I went to Amazon to see if they carried it, but there were multiple sprays available—repositionable, adhesives, etc. I couldn’t figure out which product might be the correct one, or maybe it would be better to purchase it through a quilt shop.
Thank you for any further info which would be helpful to cut back on the frustrating part of cutting fabric.
