Template Curiousity
#4
I have a few templates for blocks with odd angles, or curves. I love the sets I have for melon blocks and drunkards path :D:D:D You can even use rotary cutters on the curves :wink:

I have only bought one, and I really don't know if it is even a template. It is a half circle with many different sizes to cut. I used it for a quilt I was making for my (unborn at the time) son! I got it at hobby lobby with a coupon so it wasn't even that much in the end and it saved me a TON of time and alot of fabric since I could cut nested circles!

Yes, they can be expensive, however, they may be a good investment if you plan on making several of the same style quilt. You can always make your own templates and if you're only going to do one of a pattern that may be way to go.

I did block of the month kind of thing with templates. Well, I started it anyway. It used the Marty whateverherlastname is template sets that one of my girlfriends had. I would borrow them and try some blocks before investing in them. I thought they were a huge pain.

Yes I was thinking of the ones to make different blocks. I really want to try the wedding ring quilt! Not right away but hopefully in the next while! I have seen a lot around but never thought about making my own from plastic! Great idea! I may have to look into that!
I actually have never tried the ones to use for your quilting itself either. All these things to try!
