JeanieG .....Thank you for the compliment. I have been tracing or printing the templets on tracing paper, stitching the fabric down within the seam allowance, then cutting them out and stitching. Really helps me with the 1/4" seam allowance. Some blocks are better than others as I am realitively new to quilting. Kind of a form of paper piecing, which I really like sewing. Violet
