I bought this template as well as the precut batting and the Jewel Heart quilt pattern. I sewed the whole quilt by hand. I could not use my sewing machine because I was in a bike accident and broke my kneecap so I had to sit on my couch to sew. The quilt turned out great - the template was easy to use and everything fitted very well. Sewing by hand is so relaxing - I enjoy it very much. I will most definitely buy more of these templates and precut batting as they are "sew" easy to use.
