yes i finally started some new quilt projects today, thought i would share with you how i put together blocks that use freezer paper templates......
i trace my design onto the paper side of the freezer paper......
then i cut all the pieces apart on the traced lines.....
next i iron the templates onto the right side of my fabric, leaving space between pieces for seam allowance......i stack my fabrics so there are four layers under each temple......
laying the 1/4" line of the ruler on the paper's edge i cut out all templates with my rotary cutter adding the 1/4" seam allowance on all sides......
i lay the template pieces for the pumpkin block out as it will look, removing the paper before sewing, i start sewing all the pieces together...... save the template pieces as they can be used again for the next stack.....
and before you know it you have made four pumpkin blocks, i'll be making more for a fun Halloween quilt......
enjoy
