Quilt idea in progress
#1
A few years ago I had come up with a few DWR variations called the Split Wedding Ring. Members on here really liked it, but I never was able to figure out how to actually piece it. I tried going back to that idea a few days ago (along with another DWR variation I never showed called the Quadruple Bypass) and ended up accidently coming up with a different idea---one that might actually work.
Bear with me. I just whipped this up in EQ5 so its not exactly perfect.

In theory I think this could actually be acheived with regular DWR templates and some strip piecing. Whatcha think?

The pieces of the arcs are not straight cuts - they're angled to create the curve. So you wouldn't be able to make a strip set and cut the shapes out.
Timely - someone just asked this exact question yesterday.
After you made the arc, you could piece the black thin strip to it, and then attach them to the square as one piece.

That absolutely could work.

Do you mean strip piece the red to the black, and the pink to the black - then out of those strips cut your poly's from the two strips?
One thought is that you will have more waste. The black is on the inside curve only, so all of your poly's will be the same direction, and not all will be the same size - you couldn't flip the strip (like you would a tumbler pattern).

I was thinking it could be done a little easier by making a strip set (one black, one red) that's as wide at the DWR unit, placing the DWR unit template on top (lining the narrower part up with the edge of the black fabric), and cutting out the piece from there. This way there wouldn't be double the templates: one for the top half of the unit and one forthe bottom half of the unit. Again, I did say in theory so it may not work this way.
