Yes, I use cereal box cardboard and make templates to trace for my quilting. It's cheap and it works. I added the masking tape because the corners got smooshy. I save all my templates to reuse for future projects.
Quilt pattern? I made it up as I went along. =)
Have a great Wednesday!
Beautiful pattern and fabric choice! Well worth the hard work!

I am totally in love with your quilt!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! My daughters would love this quilt. It's feminine without being too "girlie". I can't get over how much you accomplish in your craft as well as writing a wonderful blog. Maybe you could write a blog post showing what a typical day is for you as well as tips for making time to sew or quilt. I certainly would be interested!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!!! I love the quilt and the quilting. Good for you for making your own template. I think it's great that you are doing the Farmer's Wife quilt-along. I'm too busy or I would join you too. Have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteI think that is great using the cereal box to make your templates! Thanks for the idea! :) The quilt is so cute and happy looking!
