    CB-I'm looking forward to trying this and following along. I have some fall leave fabric that I believe will work. Thanks for sharing your talents :).

    Ok ~ I'm thinking I MIGHT want to be in on this tut as long as I can keep up with everyone! I'm going to go through my stash, see what I've got and see if it will be a good choice. Will we need a "special" ruler?

    PS ~ SharonC ~ LOVE your fabric!!

    I am going to hopefully do each step every Mon leaving a week to do what you need to just like a class, and I will be available unlike your teacher while you are working away.

    The fabric I am seeing is awesome!

    Not a lot of background which is great. and yes, it doesn't have to be floral, It can be abstract as well, though the one place I volunteer I am doing one with fruit.

    I will look in my stash, I won't be using them as I don't have the yardage for it but will see what I can find that can also be used.

    you can buy the mirrors, or you can just tape two together and hold them about the 60 degrees. that will give you possible blocks.

    Most rulers have the 60 degree mark on them

    Those are kaleidoscope mirrors on her fabric. Yes, you can buy that tool. Here is a link to one site that has them

    http://www.softexpressions.com/softw...chKKrazy.htm#m

    or you can make your own by using duct tape and two mirrors.....

    This is the one that I use, I have another around here somewhere I bought a while ago before an accident happened and it hasn't shown itself since though I know I rescued it, so there is more than just this one, I like it as it also has other angles on it but I also have used just my regular ruler as well, like when I am out and I forget this one,

    Sharon, I almost bought that fabric when I was looking for Dad's fall fabric. And Marcia! That pink and black really pops the colors!

    I love my mirrors but I wish they were about half that size so I could keep them in my purse all the time. I always forget to take them with me unless I am specifically going for obw fabric.

    Now Cute, I am having trouble staying out of here. I haven't even looked at the other topics since you started this. :roll:
