Back to the freezer paper- Did you stitch through your freezer paper? The technique I saw/used (actually from the tutorial she has from that same link) shows how to use it as a pattern, but you bend it back along the sew line and sew beside the folded part. That's how I did the cow, and the freezer paper template ends up being reusable.
Maybe I will try that same block, using the freezer paper the same way I used it for the Cow. Thanks for the inspiration, Bonni!
I didn't stitch through the freezer paper so I was able to use it over again. Last night I did four small blocks and laid them out together. Used the same piece(s) of freezer paper for all of them. I did mark on the freezer paper which side was my sewing line and which was the reverse template. Here is how it looked when I pinned it together to see how close I got.
