If you want to try this, get a different template. There is no way that I could get the sewn together pieces to lay flat using that template.
Thank you for letting me know that I'm not as bad at piecing curves as I thought I was. :wink: I ended up tossing the paper template from Quilter's Cache and buying a clear plastic template at Joanns. I tried a couple of pieces tonight and they are fitting together just fine with no rippling. Whew!
