As for specialty rulers, I did recently buy one to cut curves with, but other than that i work with the standard rectangles and squares.<br /><br />Your blocks look great, and I must admit, I actually prefer the 2nd version of this latest one.QuiltSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121195815836334067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197049407627639752.post-1313174781829403062012-05-21T01:15:37.229-04:002012-05-21T01:15:37.229-04:00Beautiful.

It is a good challenge of a quilter to do such designs/blocks we may not necessarily pick, as well as have the ability to chat with others to see how best to approach making such a design, that the designer may not have shared in their instructions. <br /><br />Your blocks are really looking lovely. Great job!<br /><br />SewCalGal<br />www.sewcalgal.blogspot.comSewCalGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062059207544865569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197049407627639752.post-25671082848690712862012-05-20T20:45:15.330-04:002012-05-20T20:45:15.330-04:00Your quilt blocks are so gorgeous! Sorry you had ...Your quilt blocks are so gorgeous! Sorry you had to remake a block...every day I make some kind of little mistake...luckily it usually only needs the use of a seam ripper to correct! However, I did just purchase a new ruler and promptly cut my unit on the wrong line! I think I need a tutorial to use it! So I put it away for now and used my tried and true square ruler and all was fine! Guess we all have our favorite gadgets!Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156111116284534132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197049407627639752.post-82447676482690945252012-05-20T15:28:16.807-04:002012-05-20T15:28:16.807-04:00My first quilt instructions called for a 'spec...My first quilt instructions called for a 'special' ruler, Joanna, and I had to email Sue to ask her to check if what I planned to do (without the ruler) was correct. I could easily have got caught out without the expert help.<br /><br />I'm not keen on amassing a load of 'gadgets' which I'll only use once - like Donna, I'd prefer to spend the money on fabric or threads instead.<br /><br />I've always found everyone really helpful if you are in a fix - which is lovely!<br /><br />The blocks look brilliant - I think I may have asked before (but can't remember!), how many will make up the quilt? I would guess twelve, with sashing between maybe?Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197049407627639752.post-47257076379971636862012-05-20T12:08:15.257-04:002012-05-20T12:08:15.257-04:00I thought I had to have the specialty rulers until...I thought I had to have the specialty rulers until I found patterns/designers getting the same effect without. The specialty ruler can be easier or faster. Not buying the ruler frees up my money for fabric! I prefer more fabric! <br /><br />Your block look great! Happy quilting.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183226348596581896noreply@blogger.com
