\"Chaos<\/a>
Chaos with a Twist templates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is no acrylic template for the rainbow block included in the Chaos with a Twist template set. Libs has repurposed these templates from other patterns, Bloem and La Fin Du Monde. It is great that the same templates can be used for all patterns, but I would really like that rainbow block template. <\/p>\n

I have placed True Grips<\/a>** on the back of my templates as it keeps them from sliding around. You can see them through the bright green. My paper Rainbow template is in the upper right hand corner. I made using the tried and true paper and template plastic<\/a>** method. Not ideal, but it will work.<\/p>\n

\"Testing<\/a>
Testing the Clammy for Chaos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before I put the Rainbow arch template together, I tried different specialty rulers to see if one of them would work.<\/p>\n

The Clammy (left) is the wrong shape for this quilt. I tried to use it for the Orange Peel block and it is just too small. As a result, it won’t work for the Rainbow block, either. <\/p>\n

I also pulled out my Jen Carlton Bailly templates<\/a> from the class in 2019. One of the blocks she shows was a Rainbow block<\/a>. It might not be the exact right shape, but if I do them all the same, it should work. <\/p>\n

Looking at the photo I took, it may also work to make a regular quarter circle then use the background template to make the Rainbow. I am going to try this and see what happens.<\/p>\n

There’s always more fabric, right?<\/p>\n
