Daniel ★★★★★

The 50x67 finished size is perfect for the big floral prints I'd been hoarding for years. The Quick Curve Ruler method made those curved seams way less intimidating than I expected, and the whole thing came together in a weekend.

Lily F. ★★★★★

The curved ruler method makes those big print fabrics really shine — I finally used a fat quarter bundle I'd been hoarding for two years. At 50x67 it's a generous lap size, and the curves sewed up way easier than I expected for a first attempt.

Natalie B. ★★★★★

I’ve made three of these now and the finished 50x67 mat size is perfect for showcasing those big florals I’d been hoarding. The curved seams come together surprisingly neatly, and even my first attempt looked crisp after pressing.
