We started on the Friendship Knot quilt this week. It is not coming across so friendly at this point, but I believe it
will be fine once we work out the pattern kinks. Today we reached an impasse
with cutting the curved blocks.
Quilters should be hesitant to
purchase new gadgets because they are not always as helpful as they seem. I am
hoping that my oval ruler will be useful in marking and cutting. I purchased
this ruler a couple of years ago for another project which I have not completed
yet. I might need a class just to understand how it works!
In the meantime, I am going to
use an old school solution. Cardboard! Templates from sturdy cardboard will
work just fine and at least I can get going with cutting the squares.
No pictures until we are happy with the squares!
ReplyDeleteI have made 3 test blocks and finally I'm satisfied with the 3rd one. So I made my template. I'm ready to make the first 2 squares.
DeleteNice. I am moving ahead with cutting using the template that I made from the first test!
ReplyDeleteWe will be back at it on Monday!
