I was trying to sew the pieces together with squared ends, and when I saw the template thought, hmm, maybe I should angle trim the ends first. DUH
Need to practice a couple of more times, but this is closer than I've been yet!!!
the seam allowance needs to be cut so the edge will lie flat at both ends
