Thanks so much for the rotary cutting directions. I much prefer that to templates...but that is just me. ;-)

thank you! I sure appreciate your hard work :D :D :D

Much better than the templates which take me ages to do.
Thanks for the hard work in sorting it out for us.

Thank you so much for doing the rotary instructions. So much easier and accurate for me than templates. Now if I could just get into my sewing room!!

I too want to thank you...I'm most definitely NOT a template person, so I GREATLY apprecite the rotary cutting instructions!!! Thank you!!!

Sorry, but I'm a little confused for template #8 in block number 3. What am I supposed to cut it at?

For T # 8 cut a square 3 7/8" then cut in half diagonally. these are correct sizes from the templates.
Please note that you can increase these sizes by a 1/16 of an inch. I find it just makes the finished piece more true to size after the joining, pressing, wobbly seams, etc. You can always trim. you can't add a piece. Anne
