Did not know that there are 4 sizes. Know only large and small. What are the other sizes? Also remember last year someone said they made them out of pexiglass and forgot how the meaurement went. Does anyone remember the thread it was on? Thank you

Oh my goodness! I am addicted. I've made wreaths, Christmas trees & hearts. There is some waste but I don't think there is that much plus what is left over can go into your scrap container. If the pieces are too small, you can use them as starters or enders when you sew. Don't hesitate! Go for it! I say "I can't dance but I can twist!" Happy twisting!

What did you make your templates out of? How did you know what size to make them?

I made a big wreath one out of xmas fabrics, & made my own template, as someone showed on here. I think I used 5in squares on it. I saved the little squares I had left, & made another template, half the size of the original, then sewed all the little blocks together, in the same layout, & cut out a mini one, & sewed it together. Turned out great! So now I have a big wall one, plus a little mini one. Very little waste this way, so save your little blocks too!...

I have drawn up a shamrock will try it soon and post if I did it right. Laid up with back & bladder infection right now.

Checked out her book and it looks great. Thanks.
Ooops, pressed wrong tab. Thats "Rotary Cutting Revolution" by Anita Grossman Solomon. |
I did the same thing with the left over little squares and used a 1 in. template as the squares were 2 1/2 inches and the template should be 1 1/2 in. smaller than the block.
