I purchased a Omnigrid Offset Square Template. Their directions are not good. I started doing a sample and it is not right. Having the fabric folded wrong sided together did not work. I sent an email to Omnigrid and they came back and said it could take two weeks to get a reply. If anyone has this template and have used it, please help. The finished block looks kinda like a pin wheel.

why not redo the sample and every time you see where their mistake is write it down. Then when you have it All right, rewrite it so you can understand the instructions---in your language. I do that all the time my girls show me some thing new on this computer. Put it in a note book with other helpful hints dealing with QUILTING.

did you look at their website, sometimes they have tutorials on for some of the speciality rulers

I have the exact same problem. I've made tons of quilts so I thought this would be EASY. I've cut out the pieces and cannot figure how to put them together. What's wrong with this picture?

I have this ruler and have never taken it out of the package. I did to look at the instructions and what the ???. It says Join fabric shapes sewing with 1/4" seam allowance, to create quilt top. LOL

On the back of the package the picture of the four quilt blocks may be an indication. Looks like each block was sewn in two pieces then the two pieces sewn together to make the block. It take four blocks to make the one block.

The finished block looks like a two colour twister, doesn't it. Now I know how to do the twister block, I don`t think I would ever cut out individual pieces. I usually like Omnigrid tools, but I would return this one.

Yes, that is very obvious, but no matter how I put them together, they don't make a square section. It's a strange puzzle and I can't seem to figure it out. Should be simple, but WOW.

All your fabrics would have to be cut with the same side up.--not folded.

Got it! I finally figured that out and it's going together beautifully. I hope I can use the other pieces that were cut on the opposite side making mirror images and make more blocks from them. I'll post a picture when I get the sample done.

Verukah, happy, happy, happy!!!!

Thanks SO MUCH for articulating the problem. Here is the photo of the block assembly in progress. Happy quilting, friends!

Why don't you email "Come Quilt With Me". It's their pattern and template and only packaged and distributed by Omnigrid

Pat Yamin of Come Quilt With Me has a web site.
She did the pattern and instructions.

Good for you! Another example of a picture being worth 1000 words. Thanks

I'd also suggest you somehow mark the ruler so you know which are the outer edges ... for future use and to prevent incorrect cutting.

Thanks so much! Mine is going together pretty well now that I learned to cut all layers right side up. I've got a few blocks put together and its looking pretty cute. Need to get to bed, but here's the picture of the project so far. Good night, Quilters!

that looks very nice.

It's looking good.

Albujudy---how is your quilt doing?

I have a wall of flannel, small wall, and started arranging pieces and kind of have it figured out. Not sure if to start at bottom side or top. They definitely go at a diagonal. I am going to put it all on flannel and then start sewing the squares together. Takes 4 squares to make a complete block with pinwheel. Looks like a half pinwheel in the corner and across top and sides so that is confusing to me but the flannel wall is a miracle worker for this quilt.

It is very beautiful. Did you only use two fabrics throughout? If not I sure would like to see the entire quilt. My problem is the color layout.
