No you use three swatches to make the Bostons. Directions are on my site. When I say you can change the size of the template I was thinking if I make a hotpad for instance or a Tote bag and I make my hotpads 8 1/2" unfinished but you may want to make a larger quilt block with the same one I used but you would rather make a tote bag instead so make your"Blocks" with a 3" template instead of a 1 1/2" so you end up with a bigger quilt block to use in the tote.
Make sense?

Believe it or not the only thing I ever look at is where I have room to cut a swatch out. I don't pay any attention to grain because when I am done there is usually only an inch or less left to see. The seams are so close together that it never affects my work.

Rhonda, I have downloaded your e book. Now, my question is about the templates. Do I cut out a triangle the size of the finished block? or a quarter of the size? In other words how do we know what size the template should be? The template is a piece of acrylic right?
