With only one template for the ring, it gives you the freedom to cut your pieces almost any size. In class, I saw some really great fussy cutting going on with some pieces larger than others.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165119758309263620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271136766216942012.post-61780334771354931022016-04-20T16:19:50.269-04:002016-04-20T16:19:50.269-04:00Wow!

I like sewing curves with whatever is the larger / outer portion on top (I don't know if that makes any sense). I do love the suggestion to hide the seam, I definitely noted that in your first photo and thought it was clever!Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.com
