One done, 19 to go... Decided to add a little white to give it a little POP. HelenW

Excellent visual, thanks, HelenW.

Ready for Month 2.... Printed the templates, and prepared the curved edge one for applique. Cut off the curved seam allowance
and also added 1/4 inch to the straight outside edge of the block. So when I get done I will have a little extra wiggle room to make
it a perfect 8 1/2 inch square. I used repositional glue stick to put the paper template on the back side of Karen K Buckley
template plastic. Will use it for 20 blocks time 4 sides or 80 curved pieces. I will stick the template plastic to the back side of the fabric. cut an extra 1/4 seam allowance for the curve, and then use
a little glue to fold the seam allowance over the curve. Heat set and then it pops off easy with a little
tug. Thank you Judith for telling us out this technique back in Dec. HelenW

While waiting for Barbara's February video, I watched Sally Collin's show #1602. I highly recommend it.... especially for those who are making their own templates. Her tips are invaluable, especially her method of marking dots. Her tips on precision machine sewing are also very helpful.

I recommend show #1602 highly. I learned so much from Sally Collins, now you still can.

Yes, well worth the watch. Went out a purchased a hole punch after watching it. Looking forward to using the information making my month 2 templates.
