I think this might be alliteration week. First, Food Fabric FQs and now Twirling Triangles Test.<\/p>\n

I got the Pyramid Ruler from Fons & Porter and decided, once I started sort scraps for various scrap projects, that it was time to use it.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, one of the tasks I did was try making the Twirling Triangles patches. First I cut a strip from Kona Snow that was 4″ wide. The strips had been sitting around for a little while.<\/p>\n

Then, I went through my scrap basket and cut pieces that were 4″x5.5″ and carefully sewed the squared scraps to the strip. Frankly, 4″x5.5″ isn’t exactly a scrap and that became apparent as soon as I started trying to cut pieces. I don’t have a lot of scraps that size. Why would I?<\/p>\n

Once I had sewn patches to the strip, I only had to cut the Kona Snow strips to make the strips sets above. The size of the commercial printed fabric patch meant that I didn’t really have to measure. I just used the printed fabric as a guide.<\/p>\n

The Fons & Porter Pyramid Ruler is very easy to use and that trimmed corner on the top is awesome!<\/p>\n

Here are the test pieces laid out. This ‘block’ is about the size of a dinner plate!<\/p>\n

I think the patches are too big, because they make blocks that will be enormous. I think I will cut them down.<\/p>\n

\"Cutting<\/a>
Cutting Down the Wedges<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I think I have pretty much decided to cut these wedges down to the size shown above. I believe the strips will have to be cut 4.5″ wide and the scraps will be cut 4″x4.5″ wide. I think it will be easier to use scraps with these sizes as well. I haven’t actually done any cutting, but will do it soon. There is always more fabric, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
