I made a Grandmother's Garden Quilt using this method. I used index cards for the templates and kept a stack of them plus the fabric pieces in a candy box, took it with me whenever we went on a trip. Basted them, then whipstitched them together while sitting in the back seat like the queen. Hubby and sons do the driving. I learned this method watching some 4-H girls at the county fair and I think of them often teaching the teacher. I used the templates over and over.
This was also my mother's favorite quilt pattern but she didn't use the paperpiecing method, just folded and stitched them together, paper method works much easier.
