I've used both the John Flynn and the Marti Michell methods. Either will work fine but I think the MM method might be a little less difficult for you if you've never made them before. You could order her templates direct from Marti Michell (just google her name and her website will come up) or you can also find them at Amazon.com or maybe even your own quilt shop. Good luck. I've made three large DWR's with the JF method and three California King size with the MM method. Both are great.
