I have the rulers all ready to go out to you!!

Lois go back to pg 2 and you can look for Vickig626's post where she posted the download for the circles.

Rhonda,
I was wondering when the classes are going to start. i don't want to miss them!

karen I am planning on posting the first class this Fri in the evening. If I get it ready I may post earlier in the day. So you will see it in the tutorial section if not on the recent topics page, You can go to the virtual section and check there. I will have it there also.

Here is the link for that section

Rhonda -- I have two 1-1/4" x 6" rulers. Assuming these will work OK?
Janet

How soon do you think I will get the templates? Still don't see my name on the list so hoping you remembered to send templates out. If not, let me know and I'll pm my address again.
Thanks!
VickiG626

You are third up from the bottom on the right side of the list of names. I added it the other day and yours went out either Monday or Tues. I sent most out Mon and the rest on Tues. I hope you see it soon!!

Thanks Rhonda, Looking forward to getting started on the class.

Got my template yesterday -- Thanks!! :D

Rhonda, got my rulers today. Thanks. Can't wait to start the project.

I got my template yesterday. Thanks so much.

I'm so glad someone is getting them alright! I have had 3 reports of mishaps so far.

mine arrived but the package was ripped open and resealed with tape from the post office. the rulers were still in there though, so i think maybe they were just being snoopy!!!

Glad you got them anyway!!

I printed Vicki's circle & got a diameter of 1 3/4 inch. Am I confused as I thought a 2 inch circle is 2 inches across the diameter? Thanks for replying so I get it right.

i want to make a few keychains also!! can you teach us that next?!! please!!!!

I tried a 1 3/4" and it doesn't work as well as a 2" circle. You can do it with a 1 3/4" but the designs are based more on a 2". the differance is how the quarter circles overlap or connect. They will look slightly farther apart if you use the smaller circle but they will still work.

I recommend the 2" tho but if you want to do it with the 1 3/4" and see how it comes out you can then decide if you would rather have the 2" instead next time.

The one that shows the differance the most would be the one I call the Bowtie. I think it may be the last one in the ones I posted. The quarter circles need to overlap to get the bowtie effect. If the circles are smaller then they barely overlap. Not a problem if that is a look you like. And in the designs where the quarter circles don't connect much it wouldn't be an issue.

I tried it with a 1 1/4" template and it works well but there you get more overlap than I was looking for. It is all in what you want it to look like and you can play around with the two sizes and see what you like.

This may not make sense to you yet. If you don't want to try to make a 2" circle then use the 1 3/4" for now and then come back to this conversation after you have had some practice.

Another thought is when you cut out your circles cut the outer edge of your pen line not on the line or inside the line. You will gain a bit in the size.

I'm sure that can be the next one!! What block are you looking at? or do you have a preference?

Thanks Rhonda. I will find something to make the 2 inch with. Just wanted to make sure I didn't do something wrong when I printed. Others might have the same question. TTUL.

Got my templates today Rhonda. Thanks so much.
I am looking forward to getting started with this. I will be out of town for the weekend, but will get busy next week for sure.

Rhonda---don't have any particular block in mind--i just saw at a bazaar last year that some woman made these tiny block keychains like you do and they were so awesome!! i'm sure your way is going to be easier than her way and i'd LOVE for you to teach us!! so pick whatever you would like us to do

Well if you did what I do you would have to use 1" blocks! LOL but if you can use the 1 1/4" blocks you can do some basic designs in a tiny size. My favorite is the Boston Star which uses my Boston Blocks. But I can come up with some more designs also for variety. It will have to be after the 20th of April as I have to have a good size order ready for the lady in Kalona for their Quilt Festival. So I will shoot for the 23rd of April.

On second thought the Bear's Paw makes a dramatic statement at that size. I might just do that instead. I have been wanting to show how to do miniatures with a Bear's Paw using my cut down method. It is a lot easier than it looks. Remember it is a cut down method so it looks more complicated than it is. What do you think?

Your printer might have kicked the size down. I tried to print them and even though I TOLD the darn printer to print them 100% -- it didn't :lol: :lol:

Here is a free download for circles and it works I tried it.

You can save it to your computer. That is what they tell you to do. It is a free download.

Rhonda got my rulers thank you so very much now I'll head home after work pull my fabric, iron (I know it's wrinkled) and pull this up and see it is posted.

Rhonda-the Bear's Paw would be fun to try and the date sounds perfect to me!!

I printed mine and they measured 2" across. They were printed on thick paper. I had to set the printer to "none" in order for them to print the correct size.

I already have my 4 circles cut out and will take my fabric out when I get home from work this afternoon.

I remeasured Vicky's link for circles & it is 2 inch. I was looking at the wrong line on the ruler. Sorry about that. Thanks for the assistance, Rhonda.

Rhonda,
