First I'd like to thank CAROL fir organizing this HOP. The challenge was anything that whirls or spins - use your creativity and imagination. With March winds, so perfect - and we have had winds here!
Also, at this time our guild's program was about quilting rulers. Members to bring in a ruler or template and share it's use (good or bad experience) and a project you made from it.
The perfect ruler to cover both venues. This was one of my first bought rulers many years ago and like all things, it seems to be back in style again.
Some members said they had tryied it, but there was so much fabric waste. Well, I don't waste and I showed a solution. *I was luck to have another member bring many of her small projects - so we tag teamed*
I happen to have all three size rulers. The largest for the 10" squares, the medium size for the 5" square fabrics, and the tiniest for the 2.5" squares. If you cut your largest carefully, you get nice 5" squares to use again, and so with cutting the 5" carefully (my trusty mini rotary) you get 2.5" squares left for a mini project. Very little waste and three projects out of one.
This quilt was made using a layer cake (10" squares), some Kona black, and the largest ruler. I have saved the left overs to play with another time.
They have so many fun pattern layouts for seasonal projects, flags, hearts, and even the popular gnome.
Thank you for visiting and be sure to 'blow' in on all the hosts:
