Yes, you line up the lines you drew on the template, on the seams, always with the same part up. Do like I did and make a sample first. Ideally, you should make notes as you go along, but that's too much work for me. I like flying by the seat of my pants.

Thanks everyone. It is all put together. I have a burgandy sashing strip around it. Do you ever notice how when you get just about done with something you can't find quite the right color for a border or binding? All I have in that fabric is jelly roll strips and the 5" squares. There is only one of each design in the strips. Question: would it look funky to have a different design or color on each side. I think it will look tacky. And I am NOT going shopping. Remember, I am on a spending diet!!!!!

LOL! Lovin' your terminology: "spending diet".

Thanks for sharing your cleverness! Now I understand how to make these, and can "stay on the diet!" Think I will try using a regular square, and remarking bold lines with china marker...can wipe off when done! Or could use narrow tape probably. Hmmmm...got me thinking. Will be curious to see your finished product. Penny

That was his famous phrase when I did something he didn't approve of.
