Neat quilt, but if it was me, I'd be tempted to try and figure out a pattern for paper piecing.

I love that pattern! I saw it awhile back, I think, in Fons & porter mag. Look see if they have the templates in acrylic....a good investment. I think the designer was ----Nolte, one of their staff. If you're planning on doing it with cardboard or template plastic, probably 2/3 layers would work.Mark with fine line sharpie across strip, then take a ruler and rotary cutter and cut out...that's how I've done....but I try to find the acrylic version first...have fun!

I ended up cutting the template out of cardboard, then putting a piece of double sided tape on the bottom so it wouldn't slip. Used my rotary cutter and cut out all of the colours. As the two coloured pieces are mirror images, each time the fabric was folded, I got both of those templates out. (Sort of a two for one deal!) For better or worse, all of the coloured pieces are cut and it's on to the white pieces!
Thanks for all the tips!
Wish me luck.

I don't know if that blogger (Cynthia of https://ahhhquilting.blogspot.com/) had worked for Fons and Porter, but she has recently returned to blogging so if you need help, you can probably get in touch with her. She makes beautiful quilts and I've eyed that pattern often over the years, so hope it turns out just as beautifully for you!

I remember seeing that and wanting to make it. In the book I saw it recommended paper piecing.

If any of your templates have curves, you may be better off using the small (28mm) rotary cutter as it fits better.

If you use a rotary cutter a rotating cutting mat would be extremely helpful. I love my Martelli round mat and don't know what I would do without it!

I can't wait to see the completed quilt. This is a pattern I have considered doing more than once. I would like to buy the saw that will cut my own templates as there are several I would like to make. A lot of people have mentioned having Home Depot cut them for you. I have tried a couple of local Home Depot and Lowes stores and haven't had any luck getting them cut. Sometimes I can get them to cut a square, but have found they aren't exactly accurate. They are usually off by just a tiny bit. Of course this doesn't work in quilting.

When cutting from templates, I usually use a size 28mm rotary cutter/blade. After looking at your post again, I think for this pattern I would purchase a special Kaleidoscope ruler. A lot faster than using templates!

I use templates often and always use my rotary cutter with no problem.
