Great suggestions. :D I think I'm gonna try getting some plexi glass cut out. Well, at least for geometric shapes anyways. If I try out cutting out sqaures and rectangles, most likely I won't cut it exactly accurate and my quilt would come out looking funny. I'll have to check if our Ace Hardware cuts plexi-glass...I'm sure they do, but then again I thought our Super Wal-Mart was going to have a huge fabric section like every other Super Wal-Mart I've been to (ended up being 3/4ths smaller than the one the old store had). So you never know.
By the way, how big are the plastic template sheets you can buy at Wal-Mart?
