From This... [ATTACH=CONFIG]101787[/ATTACH] to this.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]101788[/ATTACH] |
love it, isn't it fun?? I really hope to do a larger sized one in the next 6 months or year!!!!
|
WOW, love this one. Gotta give this a try too. Looks so fun!
|
Love what you did ! Thanks for an wonderful idea on re-using a ruler w/o having to buy a special ruler for this pattern,
|
I love the colors and fabrics you used. Are you going to make a big one now? :thumbup: :D
|

this is only a table topper size..i can not see doing a whole quilt this way..not with the small size, maybe if i used 10"/Cakes squares of fabric. i can see myself enlarging to a 12.5 square ruler even! marking your own lines.. |
Kim, that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm waiting to get my ruler in the mail as I write. I am really taken by that pattern!!
Thanks for sharing your awesome quilt! :D |
i ordered mine too..then after i got it, they posted the quilters cache link to sort of make your own ruler, plus on the 1st or 2nd page of this thread, she posted pictures of how she did her lines... :roll: lol! it is ok! i wish i had gotten the bigger one now, i may just enlarge it and draw it on a 12.5 ruler.
|
You know, I'm one of those people who screw everything up!
That's why I bought the ruler. Greencat did a great tute but I couldn't figure out how to make my ruler that way. I'm really challenged hahaha |
And I'll probably buy the larger one too.
I pick my battles when it comes to my budget and my screw-up-projectitis lol |
i think they show you how on
http://www.quilterscache.com/P/Pinwheel5Block.html but i am glad i got the ruler too.. :thumbup: the really nice thing about this is, no matching up seams, on the pinwheel..just on the blocks.. http://picasaweb.google.com/strut526...er?feat=email# |
That is great! I wish my mind worked that way. When I see something like this, it clicks, but I can never come up with it on my own!
|
watterstide....that's a idea, making into a larger size. The bigger...the better for me to do! LOL, not a small size-pattern sewer! Let us know how it goes, if u make it into an larger blocks please!
|
Kim, thanks for the link to you tute.
I just finshed a quilt top that had a million triangles and squares to match up. This will be so much fun!! I need a fun project after the last one :) |

i sure will! i plan on doing some test runs with it tomorrow. |
I think if you use 1" or 3/4" for all the sides you wouldn't get the twirling look (or not as much of a twirling effect). Just my opinion.

I got the template and is sure is small!! I probably should have bought the bigger one!

The larger one looked HUGE to me. Oh well... Haven't used the little one yet but I'm excited to!
|
If you make your own pattern, what are the measurements for a larger square? I think I would be better off working with something larger to start with. Wouldn't you know I don't have a 3 1/2 inch square but a 4 inch one anyway. I have bought too much fabric so no more rulers for awhile. Thanks for your help. Blessings Kathryn

I found a charm pack at Walmart to test this out. I used 25 charms (5 per row) and added a 3" border. I put clear tape on my ruler and traced the lines from the instruction sheet. This is the first time I've posted with multiple pics.....I'm hoping everything shows up ok |
on the large size ruler..8" i used 1 and 3/4" inch markings all around. did a mock up in paper first! lol!
not sure why one would be different than the other 3. |

i don't have that ruler, but i meant to check it out. there are so many beautiful twister items out there.. the pot holder one in my album was made by a gal on another board..i love the striped fabric she used for the border! great idea, and wouldn't they make nice gifts.. |

I love this, thanks for sharing! Have done some tesselating quilts, but never tried one this way, & it looks so much easier & faster! Can't wait to try out a little one, with charms, & play!

Charms at walmart are very expensive compared to LQS. Only 20 in a package compared to LQS at 40-42 for about the same price.

I cut mine from the bottom up so that its easier to keep track and you don't have the bunch up at the top. have made quite a few and love the wreath done somewhere on the board. Just seach "twister" and it should pop up...
