Yes all hand pieced. The class is called quilting making by hand... so its all worked out the traditional way - templates, scissor cutting and hand sewing. great fun. <br /><br />well... this is how jeannie showed us... when you turn your quarter inch over onto the freezer paper and glue it down... you glue a little bit... leave a gap and glue a little bit more and then come back and glue the gap that you left. that doesn't give you the pointy bits.<br /><br />I'm going to make more freezer paper circles... I'll take some pictures.

Did you do it all by hand? Is that what you mean by hand quilting? How did you get the centre so round, because even when I use freezer paper, my circles are warped :(.
