Template for tumbler quilts

You can get clear (or grid ruled) thin plastic sheets for cutting out templates at JoAnn Fabrics. I got one for 99 cents or $1.99. it's 12" x 18", so you have room to cut more than one or to re-cut if you make a mistake.
Find a template online, resize it in Windows Paint (using the Image menu, either the Stretch/Skew or the Attributes option) and print it out. Tape it to the plastic and cut.

I buy poster board at the dollar store...I cut about 6 templates and that should get you through a quilt,,,,no need to go get this or that...At 3 sheets for a dollar can't beat it and you can store it under the mattress. :D :wink:

Gasp - some people even draw what they want on - what's that old stuff? - graph paper - and then cut it out and paste it on the template plastic - can even use a plastic lid - and add 1/4 inch to the drawing and cut it out for a pattern/template.

A lot cheaper than buying quilting templates - at most, a couple of bucks
