2-1/4" Jewels

These precut paper pieces are super consistent in size, which saves me so much time fussy-cutting my fabrics. The acrylic templates are sturdy enough to trace around without slipping.

I’m midway through a jewel-themed quilt and these 2-1/4" paper pieces are keeping my seams perfectly aligned—the acrylic option holds its shape through repeated stitching without warping. They’re light enough that my fabric doesn’t pucker, which is exactly what I needed for the sharp points.

The paper pieces cut cleanly and hold their shape through basting, which makes the acrylic templates a solid investment. I've already prepped a dozen jewel blocks and they're coming together faster than my old cardboard method.
