New (for me) Wedding quilt pattern
#14
I saw the show as well and that quilt was stunning! I loved the secondary ring pattern the blocks made. Shoo Fly is very easy but the 54-40 or Die really isn't. I don't normally purchase rulers that can only be used in certain circumstances. I speed piece all my HST so I've not ever needed a special ruler for those and I prefer to sew on the bias before cutting, but I dont' think those weird Isosiles triangle things can be pieced that way. I'm seriously considering purchasing those triangle rulers. I really love that pattern and put it on my to do list. I've never seen any rulers that aren't F&P rulers promoted on the show before.

The 54-40 or Fight blocks always frustrate me, because I always seem to sew the side triangles on wrong on half the blocks, no matter how carefully I place the pieces before I sew.
Mpeters, you can chain piece the blocks, but be very careful. It is an easy block to cut if you have the Tri-Recs rulers, and you can also use the Tri-Recs rulers to cut diamonds.

I'm very tempted to purchase those rulers. I wonder if I can get them together in one package and use my 40% off coupon. I need another shopping trip like a do a hole in my head, but I really would love to make this quilt. I have a lot of CW repros ready for 4 patching. The hardest part would be those isosiles triangle thingys.

It is pretty. Looks like Faceted jewels only simplified a bit.

CWESSLEY if you go through both pages of responses, a link to the free pattern at Fons & Porter's site is posted. That's how I got my copy!
I don't have any 30's but I think it would do great with CW repros! I have already cut some smaller strips to make the 9 patches with. Now to get some tri-tecs tools.
