Which quilting block
#21
I have a book called "501 Quilt Blocks" that has one called Texas Treasures that has 121 pieces. Keep in mind, they expect you to take the picture and make templates for a 4" block. The whole book is for 4" blocks. Some I can do that size, but others have to be enlarged.

Those HST's are around 1/3". Insane.
That's George Siciiliano territory. And I don't go there.

Do you use templates? How do you make yours? Special plastic? Cardboard?
Any tips would be appreciated.

Some of the easier patterns I don't make templates for - I can measure the pictures, add seam allowances and rotary cut, or figure out the grid and add seam allowances to rotary cut. That works best if they're on a 4 patch grid, of course.

Every time I flip through it, I think "Someday I'll have to make a big sampler with all these neat blocks", but who knows if it will ever happen or not.
When I figure the rotary cutting directions for a block I write it in the book (yes, I know, sacrilege)under their instructions to save myself time later.
