I broke by accident a ruler. I have been using the sections for wonderful things. Using a very fine saw I managed to cut one in the correct shape for a template. I using glass paper and other sand paper to smooth edge.

UPDATE:
The templates (Oregon business) for this quilt will cost $113 plus shipping. 25 of them.
Really, that's not a bad price at all.

However, I had some plexiglass pieces and my SIL worked with me and we made them
on his Ban saw. (We tried the scroll saw and all it did was melt the plexi.)
We cut them a tiny bit larger and used fine sandpaper to smooth the
edges as much as we could. It DID work. However, I will use my ruler to make sure
the border lines are straight when I cut the pieces. It took about 3 hours to do the 25.
And for the curved pieces parts...those are scissor cuts.

I haven't begun yet, but I'm certainly closer than I was. LOL

Oh, my glass place said they'd cut a couple of them for me so that's nice to know! Good
suggestion and thanks.

Happy quilting!

This Stardust quilt is driving me crazy. I guess I'm not a "y" seam quilter. When you have 20 points
coming together.........forget it! Will put it aside for a week...or month. LOL

Put the fabrics in your stash and use them to make a quilt that you enjoy more....

That's a definite idea! I'm still working on it, but it's not fun anymore.

I am doing a Dereck Lockwood pattern and what I did was to copy the template pieces, cut them out and use elmers glue to adhere to the fabric. Mine are rectangular - so I placed them on the edge of the fabric and used my 24" ruler and rotary cutter to cut the strips to size. Your pattern looks a lot more complicated that the one I am working on, but something similar might work.

As for as getting glass companies to cut for you... I called where I lived. When I asked about accuracy, they said accurate to 1/16th inch. Told them sorry, that wasn't good enough for quilting.

A pattern should come with the kit and will tell you how to cut the pieces; it looks like paper pieced.
