What can you make with this template? I seem to remember a Christmas tree table topper, but have there been any other tutorials using it?
Thanks!!

But if you look up wedge quilts in images there are lots of ideas.
Just looked at the video, Lorie, and it seems to me there is lots of waste using a layer cake. Is there one using yardage where there is less waste?
Thanks
For me they list it as a wedge but i think of it as a triangle, a large triangle. lol

I opted to buy the DD today. I looked at Creative Grids triangle rulers; they're $20. They do have lines on them, so one could cut a smaller triangle. But I can draw my own lines with a Sharpie! :) As long as I was ordering the DD, I ordered the Glorious Hummingbirds Layer Cake. Not sure if I'll use the wedge on that, but I've been wanting the hummingbird fabric. There are several fabrics in the charm packs & layer cakes that are not available in yardage. JCY
That particular quilt can't be made with the wedge. You have to have a 60 degree triangle for it. Not All triangles are created equal.Quote:

I thought that when I first saw the tutorial. However, I'm not sure how you would ever get that angle right if you tried puecing it any other way.Quote:

I thought she meant there was so much waste from cutting 2 wedges out from one layer cake. DYKWIM?Quote:

I looked at the DD and although the description said there would not be much waste it seemed to me that there probably would be.Quote:
