It's just beautiful.
I have bought my fabric..two or three times but have yet to set out on the journey of starting my OBW......still looking for that "super 60" ruler.....I do believe that one of the Joann's now has it.
Actually, I am not that sure of what it is.....I have found the 60 degree ruler but is the super 60 a diamond shape?
Thanks for any advice.........MaryJane
Hi MJ - I use the 60° Clearview Triangle as recommended in the book. It's important to get this one especially if you ever plan to do the hollow cubes as the directions are geared towards the markings on this ruler. In any case, I wouldn't recommend the Marti Mitchell type with the points cut off for OBWs - I bought one of those at first and it's a P in the A! If you can't get the Clearview at your local store, you should be able to get it online - that's how I got mine, from Switzerland would you believe! France is in the Dark Ages quilt shop wise! :D
