On the link for Quilters Cache, the template you can print out appears to be 1/2" on each corner.

It is actually 3/4" on each corner. I forgot about the seam allowance that she shows on there.

I've never made this quilt pattern.

Yes, there is something about this pattern that seems to be making many of us excited!! It's just awesome and when I saw the first project I knew I had to get that ruler. I haven't bought a ruler in ages!! :D

I got a pack of 100 5" squares at WM. Paid 10.00. I think that is about as cheap as I have seen them anyplace...

I played with this template last nice. Made my own template, traced it off on printable velum. Did the 1" in the one corner 3/4" in the other three. First one, first time laying it on my squares, the cross lines didn't line up. So, I walked away for a bit, to think about it. Then, the thought occurred to me, try another ruler! So, I did that, made another template, & they lined up! Now, I did try 3/4" in all four corners, & that didn't work, once I changed one corner to 1", then it all lined up. I have my pinwheels cut now & ready to stitch together, & I used 30 blocks, 5 rows of 6, then added a 3" border... Will share a pic when I get it all sewn together. Still thinking of a border too...

Happymrs - I'm looking forward to seeing your quilt! I don't really know the reason for the 1" in the upper right corner of the ruler, but it works!

Yes, I think you need that 1" in one corner. It would line up for me without that. If anyone is having problems making their own template, think about trying it with a different ruler. That did the trick for me! When I get a pic I will post it here. I am still working on a border idea. How about anyone else who has made one of these yet? I want to try the wreath one too, in xmas fabrics. That may be my next little project!...
