A quilting template system and a method for selecting a template to facilitate quilting a border-like area of a craft-work with length-sides and width-sides meeting at corners. The template system includes a set of templates each having an edge of repeated patterns of equal pattern-length but differing in pattern-length from template to template, and a correlator indicating which template(s) of the set are usable for the craft-work without fractional-pattern use on either the length-sides or the width-sides thereof. The method includes a sequence of steps for selecting a template by using the correlator to indicate which templates are usable for quilting the entire border-like area without fractional-pattern use. The system preferably includes groups of templates, templates of each group each having patterns of equal pattern-length but differing in pattern-shapes from template to template within the group. Another aspect of the invention involves assemblages of templates on trays in uniplanar organized arrangement with adjacent templates having complementary edges. Yet another aspect involves a template for establishing a continuous stitch-line of repeated portions each with halves of inverted symmetry.
