To answer the question about the size, I had a template 8 inches and it makes a nice big size. You sew twenty in a circle and then make a circle center and put it all on your background fabric.
Also this was my very first quilt top and never did any sewing. So I got brave after 50.
Good luck I love making them........I'm on my second one.
