Check this out its awesome! Attachment 50316
would love to make this but the pttern is 10 bucks ...not so bad but you need a 9 or 10 degree wedge ruler ...cost of that 20 bucks...so for 30 bucks plus fabric...nope won't do it but it sure is gorgeous.
Wow! That is different. And yes, making it does seem pricey.
It might be a good thing for me that I have never checked out Pinterest. I have gotten the impression from several people that it can be very addicting. I can feel it pulling me in that direction...
I bought the pattern and wedge ruler a couple of years ago and it still sits unopened in the cabinet! I will get to it someday! FYI, it is called Spicy Spiral and it is from Phillips Fiber Art: Home Page Check out their site, they have some fabulous stuff!
Oh my goodness! Don't click on the link. They have gorgeous unique patterns and tutorials. I come from a an art background and their items are visually stunning. Another place to spend my quilting allowance. (sigh) Seriously, thank you for sharing Iris, I loved the site.:D
Someone on here has made those before . . . my old foggy memory says it was Kathy T from Utah . . . stop me if I'm wrong.
Gorgeous, no matter what.
I've been looking at that about a year now! It's beautiful in person!! One of the shops here teaches a class on it and two of my friends have taken it, but I don't have the pattern. I believe they told me the hardest part was choosing the eight fabrics in it, which I really had to look to see them all. I just love it!
I think I saw a video on this. Just remember, the ruler will come in handy in the future.
i've seen this made up at a few shops. It is very impressive.
you guys are so much help...makes me want to just click yes and buy. it is so stunning , seen it done several ways but hot and spicy and the cool blues and greens are so awesome... ok its in my cart do I click yes and get it?...
Nope, don't do it. I think the work is beautiful but you need the special rulers and then all the fabric. Unless you're thinking of getting into these kinds of art quilts, save the money and use it for something that you'll really use. I can't tell you how many special rulers that I have here that have never seen the light next to a piece of fabric!
You can find a tutorial here from HeirloomCreations:
Spicy Spiral Table Runner with 9 Degree Wedge Ruler - YouTube
and you could probably draw a nine degree paper template and just put a normal ruler over the lines of the paper template to cut the fabric :)
The only thing I can suggest is just keep looking through pinterest at other beautiful quilts.........until the next "shiny object" catches your attention! That will help you forget the first "shiny object". :D
ok silly ? what is a 9 or 10 degree ruler?
Onto the pic thats so cool looking!
It's a wedge shaped ruler in 9 degrees angles....Quote:
