I started the second Rosette today but spent quite a few hours figuring out how to do this faster and better. I slept on it last night and this is what the brain said lol. I traced the templates onto my Cutting Board and extended the line and now I can just cut a strip and cut on the line so much faster and more accurate, I am in heaven, no more cutting around templates.
This quilt sure makes you pay attention lol. I just had to put some kitties in this one. I separated the kitties so it wouldn't look like one piece
Here is a pic of my CB with the patches, if anyone is interested, Machine piecing of course.....

Your rosettes are looking lovely!! I am a little over 1/2 way done with mine...its so fun to collect the fabrics and fussy cut them into interesting looks! I'll have to post mine soon. I kept a limited palette- purple, greens and blues. My SIL is just starting hers using all Asian fabrics. It's so relaxing to work on- I'm doing it all by hand. Keep us posted a s you go.

Looking good so far. Great idea about enlarging -- I made my La Pass without paper piecing. I hand sewed my little pieces together but I did it by marking my 1/4" seam line and sewing the pieces together. I too ordered the plastic thingies but I could not get my hand to wrap the material around the plastic. It was much easier for me to mark my 1/4 seam line but still a lot of work. I used scraps and I think next time (probably won't be a next time tho) I would think about my material I used more. I love the start of Kassaundra's that I have seen and can't wait for her to finish. I will very much look forward to seeing your progress. It is just amazing how these La Pass's turn out.

Marks on cutting board-perm or temp? I cannot see how this is making cutting the shapes easier than a template? I'll have to ponder it.....
great idea of enlarging and machine sewing...you may start a trend.....many like the patterns, but not into epp....
