I just have finished a table runner we started in a class and finished at home. I was terrified to cut with a rotary cutter because the template is places so verrrrry close to the next piece with only 1/4" between! I finally traced around with marking pen and cut w/scissors. I am very pleased with the results, but whoever thought this up has way too much time on their hands! Make it, destroy it, reconstruct it....quilting is a bizarre craft!
I placed the "border fabric" in each of the outside 4 corners of the 9 patch, a red dot, then a golden print in the center, and several varied red and green prints to fill in. When it finished the red dot is the field and the pin wheels float in that border color. It is stunning. Linda
