I intended to make just one block, so I didn't need something sturdy. Some of the blocks had 40 and 50 pieces, and very small unusual pieces in a lot of them-- and there are only a few sizes of plastic MM temples in the set that I have, so it didn't occur to me to even check if any of the MM templates would be useful in the construction of the FWS blocks. Perhaps it would be worth checking for the Pony Club blocks, as they are bigger, finishing at 8" and don't seem to have as many pieces in them.
One of the stumbling blocks of the Pony Club blocks is although they are bigger many are not based on a 4 patch design, but a 9P. 8" doesn't divide by three very well. I have found that PPing them has been easier than regular piecing. IMHO.

I have started both quilts and need to get back to them.
