Jeanie - your blocks are great. Glad you joined us.
plates.
Jan - Thanks. I am a quite a bit better this afternoon/eve. Felt good enough to do one block and messed up the other so have to do it over. Will get it done before bed. Don't want these hanging over me so to speak.
I too decided to make the templates. I have been cutting the paper temp. then holding on plastic and drawing until I got smart and just put the plastic on top of the paper temp. and traced then cut. Then I choose the fabric and trace the template or hold together and cut. I find it very relaxing and enjoyable and a bit like Grams used to do. I feel more 'connected' to Grams as a quilter this way.
