I've been doing a $5 BOM at my lqs. The quilt is Marti Michell's American Beauty. I joined late and guess I missed the part about requirements for finishing. According to the instructions, we have to buy the Marti Michell Drunkard's Path Template Set #8960; Large Diagonal Set Triangle Rule #8968 and the Sashing Star Tool Set#8114. This gets pretty expensive, plus the finishing kit (fabrics) is not cheap. I'm not liking using the templates at all so I really don't want to buy more of them! If any of you have done this quilt, is there a way to finish up without having to buy all those rulers/templates? Thanks
