Both GG. I don't like the process and I don't like the look of it because I'm no good at it! I have to do applique with my Dear Jane blocks too and I don't like that either. Besides the pieces are really small (4.5" finished blocks). But I stick to the blocks because I want my Dear Jane to be like the original. With Sylvia I don't care if one block doesn't belong in the quilt. So I will try this template thing with Dear Jane. Will let you know how it works for me.
