I want to make this quilt. Saw it in a quilt shop and it was gorgeous. The owner would not let me take a photo of it. Darn!
It calls for pieces cut to 16th of an inch. What tool would you use to measure 16th of an inch blocks, i.e. 3 5/16? My rulers do not have 16th of an inch marks on them. Thanks for your help. Yolanda |
If it's predominately made from HST, she probably used Triangulations software as it has HST to the 1/16th I think.
|
I've never seen one, but you could make a paper template and tape it to your ruler as a guide.
|
Do you have a link to the pattern? I couldn't find a picture by Googling.
|
Doesn't the book tell you how or why to cut those measurements??
|
1/2 way between 1/8" and the next 1/8" mark. but you can probably cut a little bigger and trim down after sewing.
|
I don't understand any piece that is measred in 1/6" incriments. If it is all triangles what difference would it make. Is the "Balis" a regular pattern made with batiks or something special.

The pattern is from the book Batik Beauties by Laurie J. Shifrin. It is out of print, but you can get a digital download of the entire book from the Martingale website at http://www.martingale-pub.com/store/...roducts_id=990
