I hope you do. I used the Marti Michell template set P. The only thing I might not agree with is cutting all those little HSTs individually and sewing them into squares. It would be more efficient, and probably more accurate, to sew the squares on both sides of a center line and cut them apart. I found that sewing a scant 1/4" wasn't going to work. When I did that the row of HSTs was a bit too long for the side of the square or triangle they get attached to. I had to resew a couple of seams in the row of HSTs a needles width to make them fit.
I know you can do anything you set your mind to and all this one takes, for me anyway, is to sew slowly to make sure the seam allowance is as accurate as I could get it.
I also starched the fabric very well and don't handle anything more than you have to, especially the outer large triangles. I don't even pick up a work in progress by it's edges, no matter what it is. I slide my arms under it and lift it.
