I'm using the acrylic templates made by Amitie, and hand piecing each block. I draw pencil stitching lines on the back of each block by connecting the dots with a ruler, and then join the pieces with a running stitch.
It's a slow process, but I enjoy cutting the blocks during the day, and stitching a block each night.
I still have many more fabric combinations waiting to be used. This quilt is for our bed. I chose to restrict the colour palette to green and grey because it will complement the gorgeous wallpaper we hung last year.

Hi Wendy, I'm just starting a Glitter quilt. Yours is STUNNING! I also have the templates. Did you use scissors or a rotary cutter to cut the pieces? If a rotary cutter, do you have any tips for me?
Thank you,
Tricia
Hello. I always use scissors to cut out my pieces. Unless it's 1" squares in which case I might use a rotary cutter to cut a long strip the right width, and then also cut each square with my big rules. But I never use a rotary cutter with the little templates. It's too fiddly and dangerous for my fingers.
