My ruler was a Marti Mitchell http://www.frommarti.com/mm5/merchan...ategory_Code=R I used the method in One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosethal.

It's basically a stack and whack that is made by carefully placing 6 layers of the same fabric on top of each other so that the motifs all line up identically on all 6 layers. I used the Sara Nephew 60 degree ruler to cut mine. You just cut the triangles, and you get 6 identical triangles from the 6 layers. When you fan them out, you get this kaleidoscope effect. You sew them together in rows, not in hexagons, so no tricky corner seams. Pretty easy. One Block Wonder closeup [ATTACH=CONFIG]93587[/ATTACH] |
