:D :D :D :D I got this done today and I think I might use black fabric for the background and then I have no idea what I'll applique' on it. No too bad of a job if I say so myself. I could make it into a table topper and there are patterns for Christmas tree skirts and I might make one later when they start putting out Christmas fabrics. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay if any of you have any ideas. Let me know. enjoy

I bought the book Quilts with out corners and the 10 deree ruler with the extension. Ok what you do is choose the fabrics, some times this is as hard as a project is. LOL! This one calls for 4 colors. You cut 8 strips from each color measuring 2 3/4" x with of the fabric. Note: the fabric should be at least 54 to 56" wide from salvage to salvage or you won't get 9 wedges cut from your stradas. Yeppers, you make 4 stradas, but you will have to piece another 10" to your strips before making the stradas so they will be long enough. The pattern shows where the colors go and such. After all the wedges are cut, then you lay out the spiral circle and the pattern gives the starting of it as to which way to go. I did mine backwards cuz I'm left handed so things are backwards for me. But you might get the idea. Any way, you sew 9 wedges together and the next 9 and then the next 9 and there are 4 sections to the circle. Almost like a huge dresden plate. I wanted to put a mini spiral circle in the middle, but could not get it to sew with out it vocanoing on me and I tried 3 tomes so I put a black on on the center and I still might applique' some thing on it too. In the book there is the same spiral circle and you can make it into a Christmas tree skirt. There is another pattern for one on the carboard the ruler comes on. you can use the extension for the ruler to make a 70" circle. I think this one is about 42" , perfect fpr a table topper. Any whoo I bought the book and ruler from www.softexpression.com There is a bargello in the round I want to try also. It is made with the tube method, but you cut wedges and then sew it in the round. It calls for about 8 colors so I'm going to have to start collecting some. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay... Oh when I ordered my book and ruler, it was on back order and I had to wait 2 weeks or more before it came and it came yesterday.
