To speed the process, designer Marti Michell used acrylic templates she developed for cutting the setting and corner triangles and the pieces in the Bride’s Bouquet blocks. (Perfect Patchwork Templates Set E, $23; Multi-Size Kite Ruler, $13; and Large Diagonal Set Triangle Ruler, $20; are available from From Marti Michell, 800/558-3568.)
