This is pieced using freezer paper templates. I left the templates on and cut a 1/4" seam allowance by eye. I've since made them raw edge as well though and couched yarn over the joins. I'd say start by drawing it actual size, keep the lines gently curving and fairly simple then trace you templates off that. Don't forget to reverse them. :-D

Very stunning! I don't think I would be able to do that though :( Maybe I'll just admire everyone elses and wish someday that I can create something that beautiful.

Love the piece, you did a wonderful job...I have a question, I love the name of the challenge, this year I have to come up with a challenge for my guild. If you can and it's not asking too much can you tell me the rulers.
thanks
