Cozy Quilt Pattern & Tube Ruler hiccups
I thought I'd ask here before I threw the whole thing in the street . . . .
I bought Cozy Quilt Designs "Nine Sisters" quilt pattern and the suggested Strip Tube Ruler when my 9" square Omnigrid (after watching the Missouri Quilt video) ruler gave me 5-1/2" oversized blocks.
All my tubes are ready - 4.5" wide - supposed to have 4.5" HST, yielding 5 blocks per tube. When I put the 4.5" line on the bottom seam, the tip of the ruler is 7/8" away from the top seam.
The same thing happens with the 2-1/2" tubes - is there supposed to be so much wasted fabric? The instruction images show otherwise.
And I'm supposed to make two of these for my twin grandgirls.
What am I doing wrong?
Has someone else used this ruler with their desired accuracy?
Sorry for no photos. won't upload.
TIA. Lynne
