Does anyone know the dimensions to make a template out of cardboard for either or both of these rulers. The Spicy Spiral Table runner is awesome, but I can't afford the ruler along with the pattern to make it. Someone on this forum had mentioned the template out of cardboard and I thought that might be a viable option.

I hope you find a way to make it

I mentioned making templates out of posterboard for my Spicy Spiral Table Runner (I couldn't get the ruler locally at the time). I measured and drew a 10 degree angle on the posterboard and cut the templates from it. I used the pattern to decide how long to make each piece. Even though my template wasn't exactly what was called for in the pattern, it worked out fine. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-68251-1.htm
You can see the difference in using a 10 degree angle vs. a 9 degree angle in the post from raptureready(the 2nd reply down in the same thread).

The 10 degree ruler is 22.5 inches long, 1 inch wide at narrow end and 4 7/8 wide at bottom edge. these measurments include the 1/4 inch seam. hope this helps.

Thank you so much, I am in the situation where I cannot afford the ruler, cannot buy it here in England either and so wanted to make the spiral runner.

oh show us what you end up with when done. we'd love to see it.

if you make a 50 in. c and fold in half then fold in half again you will have 10 9 degree wedges in the one fourth

One thing about this pattern it is very forgiving. I liked it cause you don't have to match any points!:) Close works good.

Thank you , I think I will cut one out of plexiglass.

Do you mean 50 inch circle?????
