It isn't hard to do my method at all. It just looks hard but when you break it down it is really easy to do.
Once you make up the Wings blocks you can then sit and move them until you get a design you like. It gives you more leeway than paper piecing. You can make a whole lot of differant looks with the exact same wings blocks.

I use a 1 1/2" template which will create a 6 1/2" quilt block with the 6 x 6 layout(6 blocks in a row)
I make hotpads with them and totebags and purses. I use a 1 1/4" template and make checkbook covers and bookmarks and eyeglass cases and magnets and keychains etc.
If you prefer to make larger quilt blocks just use a larger template.
You can make an 18" quilt block and make a quilt that way or any size you want.
I also have an ebook available on the Wings blocks

Here is the tutorial for downloading and using paper templates to cut out instead of using my swatch method.
