Bonnie Hunter uses this for her tumbler quilts. I have 2 because I thought one was bigger than the other. Oh well! If I lose one the other will probably tag along and I'll have to get another. I have couple books that also have templates. So making a list and checking it "thrice'' instead of "twice".

Yes I have this template and yes it's worth the money. Their template is specifically designed to fit pre cuts but also has markings for any size ... my personal opinion follows: ... you can buy something similar at Joanns. But when you purchase from MSQC you're supporting an actual real family from a town that was about 2 puffs from being gone from the map. The Doan family and MSQC provides jobs to folks in a small farming town .. these are real people... not a corporation from who knows where. They provide free .. FREE.. tutorials every week .. Joanns does nothing for free. Here in Missouri we're a flyover state ... so I personally support every non corporate business I can ..

I have several (at the time I didn't realize one could be used for various patterns). I find that I am always grabbing a larger one. It allows me to cut many different sizes but it is easier (for me) to hold and maneuver. I love making dresdens and versions of them. Two things to remember - your 1/4 seams are very important and sew the blades together starting at the outer edge. If the are uneven in the center that will be covered by the center circle or bias trim if you do it as a tree skirt. Hope you have as much fun making them as I do.
