Take the Single Girl Quilt Along, a fantastic quilt and the along dreamt up by some fab chics
{Katy you have inspired me to get inked up, thinking a jelly roll with a scalpel through it? what do you think? ;)
So i thought i would put my hand up, why not Ive got nothing else on.
When it came to the task of cutting out a gazillion templates a tip from a very clever lady came in handy.
Enter single sided adhesive laminate sheets.
No template plastic to wrestle with perfect crisp lines every time your scissors and your fingers will thank you:)
And fabric, background tossing up between red and white tiny spot, kelly green or black.
the arcs? scraps of the random grab and sew don't over think it variety.
The breaking the rules bit? cutting off the template seam allowance, i know I'm a rebel!
Tonight we trace...love fi xoo

Love all your background options!! I'm breaking rules too - going to make templates and use a rotary cutter - will probably end in tears.
Living life on the very edge!!!
Love it.

I'm rotary cutting too, but will yours work without the seam allowances?
totally i reakon it will make it more accurate for me anyway, and using scraps i need to be flexiable to make the piece fit i will add a seam alllowance after i trace :)
You rebel! I kind of winged it on the seam allowance. I cut them all with but finessed it a bit when sewing the curves.
I say "all" but it is only one arc's worth, I am the lightweight doing the cushion version.
I'm seeing this pop up all over Fi -- looks like great fun. I'm looking forward to seeing yours unfold!
I bought the pattern today, a bit late to the party i know but it sounds like fun! i am feeling nervous about all those templates though!
I'm sure it'll turn out gorgeous!
