Yes, there is a thick plastic ruler that I have seen sold at Joannes, similar to the one available for dresden plates or diamonds.

This is not what I think I saw a few years ago but is close...

Bought this same kit. I do not usually get kits but could not resist. Have not even opened it yet so have no idea about ruler but will be watching posts.

i prefer the 18mm.

I've been thinking about getting one similar to that for my longarm. Hmmmmmm

You will need a special ruler to help with curved piecing. My suggestion is also call Connecting Threads, they probably can help out. Good Luck and don't forget the pics when you finish!

I got my CT book and I know there is a curved ruler to do this. I have seen them. However I read the article on this particular pattern and they don't offer it. Try Joann's and see if they sell it. I think it was a quilt shop that sold it.

Me, too. I only got the pattern by download. Have already picked out materials from my stash...

I just got finished looking at Fons & Porters website, they have the wavy ruler you need for this project. Now I know where to pick it up from too. Go for it!!!

just looked at the pattern description of the pattern in the catalog and it said that it is made of "one single template"

I would imagine that it will be in the pattern
