Project Simplify - Day 28

I'm a cheater.  And I'm not afraid to admit it.

Yes, sometimes I look for the easy way out and bend the rules a bit.  In this case, I'm talking about the circle template for Spot On.  It requires enlarging.  I don't mind.  I'm lucky to have a printer/fax/copier thingy here at home. 

But I was thinking more about my little helper and making tracing easy for her.  So instead of making a template as per the pattern, I rooted around my kitchen for something round.  The best I could do was a plate that's about 1/4" smaller than the actual template.

It was so easy for her to use.  (Yes, that's a Laura Ashley saucer!)

I don't think the quilting police will come and arrest me because the circles are a smidgen smaller than the pattern said.  

But in case they do - and you'd like to make my prison stay more comfortable - I like Ghirardelli brownies (with chopped walnut, if you don't mind), Irish Breakfast tea and Japanese craft books & magazines

Thanks in advance.

It's WAY more important that your helper used the plate than using the actual template from the book....besides, you want this to be "your own" anyway. So, i don't think you will have to worry about the quilt police...I'd send you brownies for sure, though. :)

ohhh, if they even try, I say make a break and don't leave a trail of chocolate! I think just saying 'Laura Ashley saucer' is enough to bail you out! Making pretties with pretties, it's going to be gorgeous! :)!
