I bought some (don't remember which ones now) when I was doing a Marti Mitchell BOM at a LQS in Virginia. You can get by without them but I did find that the blocks went together faster with fabric cut from the templates (I guess I'm not as exact I would like:( Personally, its a matter of taste. The money isn't completely wasted on the templates as the quilts are gorgeously intricate so you will probably want to make more than one. However, I put together one Mitchell BOM top with just cutting the templates out of template plastic. It took more careful sewing but it can be done. I don't remember why I bought the templates the second year but I did. It depends on your needs. Hope this helps.

I have 2 sets B and D did a Block of the month at a LQS and I hate them because 50 pieces to a 12 inch block is just too time consuming I got the quilt Return to Romance Finished even with my sister helping with the pieced sashing and quilted it and gave to my son for Christmas he loved it It took me 2 yrs to make a queen size quilt if you like a lot of pieces go for it The quilt turned out Beautiful but I won't be making another one

I'm signed up for a class using her templates. I'm not a big lover of templates but thought I'd give this class a try.. We'll see.. The class isn't until March so there is plenty of time to follow this thread..

I like her templates. As above I like to cut bigger pieces then the smaller units using her templates.
A question...is there a 28mm rotary cutter that will ride high enough to use with the thick acrylic templates? I bought a cool set of curved templates at the AQS show in Knoxville, years ago, by Waterfall Quilts and my old cutter doesn't want to work with them.

I had her drunkard's path templates but sold them. i like to have both template pieces, the pie and the arc. she only has one.
other than that, i'm sure they are fine.
i don't use my rotary cutter with these. i draw around them and cut out with scissors.
