I matched up the 2 side seams and put a crease in the hot pink fabric so I would know where to place my square corner. Thanks for the tutorial![ATTACH=CONFIG]504825[/ATTACH]
This particular size is designed for use with a 2 1/2" template yes. But you can use any size template and just make your rectangles larger. I do most things by trial and error and I use copy paper to practice with. It is inexpensive and you can sew and iron it like fabric. So you can try a larger size if you like.
