I used the Trimplates that Arlene used in post #94 of this thread, but they are no longer produced. I would like to do another someday, and I will use Deb Tucker's Diamond Recs and Square Squared tools. You can't go wrong with her tools.

You know you can paper piece it? Will make those tricky angles easier and bias problems disappear.

NOOOO--don't do it! ha,ha,ha! I did one for my daughter our of the table topper batiks from her wedding--only had to take it apart 3 times, and because I had so much "fudging" in order not to chop off ALL the points, I had to go over seams a couple of times to make sure none would open. since they went to Ireland on honeymoon, I used a panto, Celtic Curlz, on part of it, put waves and designs from Newgrange on it. They like it but never again![ATTACH=CONFIG]584585[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]584586[/ATTACH]

Storm at Sea was the second quilt I ever made and I turned it on point. That is the advantage of not knowing what I was doing, I just did it. I did not know it was supposed to be a hard quilt to make. I had to fudge a couple of corners because at the time I did not even know what a setting block was! So now, I am fearless when it comes to quilting, they are just 1/4" seams! LOL

So the original post was made in 2011 and you are still trying to talk INGEMK into our out of making the quilt? LOL
wesing ~ The Trimplates must still be available. I went to a talk at a local quilt guild give by Wendy Mathson, who it seemed had designed the Trimplates. If you took her two-day workshop, you could buy the Trimplates. It was just last month. I don't think she sells them online though.
I think I would use paper piecing ... and hope to do that someday ...
