Will This Tool Make This Hexagon Quilt Pattern?
I saw this quilt back in July in a JoAnn's add and really fell in love with it:
http://www.google.com/imgres?q=jo+an...72&tx=96&ty=89 I bought this tool http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-1...-quilting.aspx the other day and wonder if this is the correct ruler to make a hexagon like the Jo Ann's quilt. If so, what size do you think the hexagons are? Thanks. |
well if you do your fabric in strips sewn together and then cut the triangles, i guess it would work. not sure of size though. you must practice on some scraps. I bought a large thin plastic template from nancysnotions.com for hexagons and tumbler. it was a set. i can do very large ones with those. good luck.

nativetexan, yes, I was planning on making strip sets. I would think you would need a strip about 2 1/2 inches wide for the center hexagon and then a 4 inch or so wide strip for the outer part. I guess it will be through experimentation because I can't find any patterns or directions for this ruler (other than the one that makes a block that is used in the Storm at Sea quilt).

Is the Tri-Rec a 60 degree triangle. If so it will work.
|
That quilt looks like the one that my guild is having a class on, but they are using the Marti Michell hexagon ruler. I know that doesn't help you with the rulers you have, though.
|
How do I figure out what degree my template is?
|
That is a beautiful quilt, just watched this video on that tool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CT7g1NXrL4
To find your angle on the template, do you have a protractor? |
