you really don't need the template. you can even use a wide picture frame. the inside opening for the smaller square and the outside for the larger square. or two square rulers. once you know the method, it's very easy.

This method adds sashing front and back in a very clever way. She has some videos and also a book. I am going to use it again for my current WIP tee shirt quilt. no hand sewing whatsoever!

i also do the sashings on top and back then stitch together. it is very easy-peasy. doing the quilting before the quilt is put together is very nice too. i find that the greatest advantage to a qayg is that the quilt can be added to to increase the size anytime and an older or damaged block can be removed and repaired or replaced without tearing up a whole quilt to do it. it is a very thrifty way of quiltmaking whether you do it by hand or by machine.
