Gay mentions quilting from the heartland. Years ago I watched a quilting show featuring Shar Jorgensen and the double wedding ring. She had thick plastic templates that you could cut around, using the smaller 28 mm. rotary cutter (I think that's the right size, it's smaller than the 45 mm. rotary blade). It was a long time ago, but I think I spent about $25 for the thick plastic templates, however, someone in my family decided that I no longer needed them and threw them out. I'm always amazed that certain people in my family figure that if I haven't used something in a certain amount of time, they are free to throw it out. I still get upset when I think about it, as I had really wanted to make the DWR quilt some day. Oh well, now he can just spend more money to get another set of templates.
