This makes a cardboard frame. I center that on the t-shirt and mark where my cutting lines are. It's easy to do, the frame is reusable, and I don't have to go through the expense of making a new plexiglass template in case the block sizes are different from one quilt to the next, or if I want to use multiple sizes of blocks in my quilt.
