Mine ended up 18 1/2" x 27 1/2". When I have time (ha ha ha) I want to calculate how many charms to make a certain size, ie lap quilt or long table runner. I guess if I spent the $19.95 on her book I wouldn't have to do my own calculating. But since I am on a spending diet.....

I would rather spend money on the fabric. Since we can make our own temps. It's just a matter of figuring out a pattern. You can do that....I have faith in you!

Yep! I'm an independent cuss. My mother always told me, "You can do anything if you want to bad enough. I just hate giving somebody else my hard earned money if I think I can do that same thing myself. Since I am a widow living alone with two large dogs I need to get inventive sometimes. I have so many books now that I don't need to buy another just to figure out how many blocks I need for a quilt.

Thanks a lot! I love doing that with my bindings; easy and fast. I didn't have anything else that matched the pinwheels and all I had was jelly roll strips to make binding with; didn't want a patchy look. I thought it came out pretty classy looking.

when I did both of my templates I didn't even know there was a book LOL, you can search the board and come up with pictures I've put on of my templates...so easy to do yourself if you have a hardware that cuts plexiglass
