Thank you for the tutorial and posting the pdfs. Right now I have been finishing a Cathedral Window that I started a few years ago (maybe 5) with the circle template. Those are the ones that have to be traced, make a cardboard to trace the circles out and hand cut out. To make a twin you need to cut out 126 including the flannel for the inside batting, and after cutting out all those circles I guess I got tried of it, so I put it away for a few years lol. When I purchased the templates and pattern the rulers weren't out yet that can now be used with a rotary cuter. I really like yours and can't wait to do one your way!

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Thank you for the tutorial. I do have a couple questions. Do you use batting? And if so, do you sandwich the quilt after its all pieced together? Then quilt? It seems there would be raw seams on the back if you didn't back it? Perhaps I am missing something.....which wouldn't be unusual for this old brain! :)

Yes you sandwich it with a backing fabric and batting in between. As I quilt each block I have to make the backing fabric larger than the block so When i join my blocks, I can pull the extra inch or so towards the back and fold it to cover the seam. Then I will hand stitch it down. I will treat it like a quilt as you go project
