Circle Magic Ruler - Cathedral Window quilt - anyone done it this way?
#1
I'm looking for ways to do the Cathedral Window quilt (well, really, a Rob Peter to Pay Paul quilt, but same template). I had purchased the Accuquilt dies, haven't used them yet.
I just watched this video on Missouri Star Quilts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gKvdrexKE4) which uses the Circle Magic Ruler. OMG, that looks so cool. Has anyone used that ruler to make the blocks? Is it as easy as it looks??

It does look fairly easy and it does make a pretty quilt, but it doesn't really look enough like a cathedral window to suit me. When I do my lazy cathedral window, I think I'll play with the measurements of the 10 minute block. If you change up the size ratio between the pieces and then roll the edges of the center down, I think it will give a pretty good likeness of the cathedral window.

I try not to do blocks/quilts where I have to buy a specialized ruler. It looks easy, but again you have to buy a specialized ruler, whereas there's a tutorial on doing 10 minute cathedral windows that I would rather do. Haven't done it yet, but it's at the top of the list.
