    I made one years ago, used the Tri-Rec ruler for the diamonds-in-rectangles. If you fold the fabric and place the fold line where the 1/4" seam should go then that ruler works well. I did...

    I generally press to the side, I like to nest seams and can avoid a lot of pinning that way, and I get joy out of spinning seams. However if something won't go flat I'll press open.

    I can't comment on the shrinkage because I prewashed before using it. It is a thick weave, so takes up a bit more in the seam if you are looking for precision piecing (I wasn't, it was background on...

    I use a home made quilt for spring, summer and fall but it isn't warm enough for winter. We have a wool comforter which is quite toasty, and I did make the duvet cover for it!

    If you are a beginner at curves, the larger one will be easier to create smooth curves.
    Rather than using templates, I got the creative grids circular ruler and can make a bunch of sizes of circles.

    Baby quilt with drunkards path animals

    Just delivered this one to the new parents who are very outdoorsy and love hiking. I made blocks of drunkards path animals and arranged them, then added button eyes that were sewn on extra tight.

    I don't like the acrylic templates, they tend to be undersized for me to hold easily.

    I tape a paper card stock 3/8" from the edge of a square ruler to make a cutting guide instead.

    Scrappy cats and kittens

    I've been looking back at some recent finishes and realized I never posted this one. I was inspired by patterns in Janet Kime's book The Cat's Meow but made them improv and scrappy.

    I use cup hooks on the sides of a small wall cabinet. The cup hooks screw into the wood and are very secure, but I needed to use pliers to straighten the curve out a bit.
