Will This Tool Make This Hexagon Quilt Pattern?
I saw this quilt back in July in a JoAnn's add and really fell in love with it:

I bought this tool

the other day and wonder if this is the correct ruler to make a hexagon like the Jo Ann's quilt. If so, what size do you think the hexagons are? Thanks.

well if you do your fabric in strips sewn together and then cut the triangles, i guess it would work. not sure of size though. you must practice on some scraps. I bought a large thin plastic template from nancysnotions.com for hexagons and tumbler. it was a set. i can do very large ones with those. good luck.

nativetexan, yes, I was planning on making strip sets. I would think you would need a strip about 2 1/2 inches wide for the center hexagon and then a 4 inch or so wide strip for the outer part. I guess it will be through experimentation because I can't find any patterns or directions for this ruler (other than the one that makes a block that is used in the Storm at Sea quilt).

That is a beautiful quilt, just watched this video on that tool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CT7g1NXrL4
To find your angle on the template, do you have a protractor?
