I have used this tutorial. I love it for small pieces.

Thanks for the download, hevemi. I do like the idea of paper piecing this piece. I really think it would be much easier than trying to use a template.
Lanalee, is the Thangles technique a form of paper piecing??

go to JoAnn fab, I think they have the BiRangle set there....with coupon price would be good, and plastic templates are so much easier to work with....it is a good investment in templates, a lot designs call for that rectangle star
