the batting buddy is a template to cut the squares for the pattern without measuring. The batting buddy is two pieces. The outside frame is for cutting the backing piece and centering the batting square. the center piece is for the batting square. Fun and Done quilt as you go are done in squares of the backing with the batting centered on the backing and the pieced pattern on top. It is a type of sew and flip and thus quilted as you piece. The squares are then butted together with the backing sewn together, folded over and stitched down on top forming borders. In this quilt your backing appears on the front so take that into consideration.
