How many ........

......... attempts does it take to make one unit like this when you're trying to do it without having to make a template?







Answer?  Quite a lot. I got there in the end though. 

Mind you, I would rather not hear anyone saying they think it would have been quicker with a template.  I know it would, but my middle name is Stubborn.

    I did the same thing! Thank you for joining me. I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I remember thinking that they shouldn't be so hard, but finding out they were tricky.

    I'm glad you finally figured it out. Personally, I don't care much for templates. You already know how much I LOVE my rotary cutter!

    Templates are for the birds. Once you have worked it out it will be all clear sailing from now on!

    Dear Stubborn - I love the colours!
    Sorry to hear you've been poorly. I assume you are a bit better if you've been faffing with triangles!
    My Mum and Mum-in-law had cataracts and both swear by the little op with lasers. MIL went to play with her knitting wool as soon as she took the bandages off. She couldn't believe how bright the colours were - they'd faded so slowly she didn't realise.
