    Default Found a set of rulers I forgot about.

    On impulse, I bought the whole line of these rulers at a quilt show a few years ago. I put them up and forgot about them until I moved my sewing room. I was thinking I'd donate them to my quilt silent auction table. I got them out and was reading the instructions and the book that came with them. I cut a few blocks and then a few more. The rulers are fantastic! Everything matches and fits with every shape cut from all of them. Hundreds of quilt block possibilities. Anyone have these?

    Thanks for the reminder - I actually bought them and put them away also. Will have to remember to drag them out when I get a minute.

    Isn't it amazing what we find when we have a little time to clean up our space?

    I clicked on this link from their page http://www.sewinspired.com/sew-inspi...ecing-method™/ and was pleasantly surprised to learn a really creative way to sew curved seams! Now maybe I will attempt that Apple Core quilt!!

    i would have to be a darn serious quilter to get all of the templates. the finished products they show look wonderful! i certainly can't justify the expense, but i can understand why others do. the results are stunning.

    That reminds me if I ever do invest in rulers for making curves I want to get that sewing foot for sewing curved seams. Anyone remember the name of that thing? I'm starting myself a shopping list for future projects just like I do for groceries. Of course, by the time I get around to the project something new and better will have come along.
