Merrimack

A few months ago I was lurking Karen's from Somerset patchwork's blog and I seen her new BOM Merrimack I was immediately entranced, I had adored her 2012 BOM but had wimped out, this time I said to myself.  .  .  .  .   do it .  .  .  .  . So I signed up and today, I picked up month one whilst I was at the stitches and craft show This is what I received in the first month, 5 pages of instructions.  .  .  .  .  .  OMG A huge template set And my first four lovely fabrics This is month one.  .  .  .  .  .  see those little green stars.  .  .  .  . they are English pieced and each star has five tiny pieces to stitch together.  .  .  .  .  . And the are hand appliqued to the centre The fabrics Merrimack and the gang from Somerset are set to challenge me My skills at cutting with templates are fairly limited has anyone got any hints or tips? There are lots of Y seams, I have done these before, once . . . .  usin
