Making diamond quilt blocks using freezer paper templates will help you get accurate seams and crisp points. The plastic side of freezer paper temporarily adheres to fabric and the edge of the paper is your seam guide. Use your momento™ craft cutting machine to draw and cut the freezer paper pattern pieces. The fabric pieces for the tote bag are also cut on your craft cutting machine. The finished size of the block is approximately 10” x 10” (25cm x 25cm) and the bag is 14” x 14” (35cm x 35cm).
