Hi Everyone; I am thinking of making the Winding Ways quilt and I just visited a local quilt shop to price the templates. OMG $26.00 for them!!!! That is not in my snack bracket! Does anyone know of a site that I can print off the pattern and make my own? Thanks...Val
Hi Inspired,
I hope this helps..... after you click on the link ...scroll down for the pattern

I have some of Marti Michell's other templates and love them. This set is $18 off of her site.

I also have a set by Omnigrid called Easy Winding Ways Templates and I'm sure I got them @ Joann's or Hancocks for less and it makes a7" block. I did a quick search and it is also being called "Wheel of Mystery" by someone.
You might can find a copy of the book in a local library. Here is a link that might help. You input your zip code.

P.S. I wish you guys would stop finding beautiful quilts to make. I, too, have a long list of to-dos, and this one makes it even longer.
Wow. That is way above my head. I really don't like that she says at the bottom that I might be extremely lazy to use her templates printed out instead of drawing them out with a compass.Quote:

Thank you ladies for your help. I very much appreciate it. This is another example of why this forum family is so great. When you have a problem or question you just ask and someone is always there to help. I will keep you posted on this project once I get it going. Val
I'm glad you found something that will work for you!
Good luck on that project! We'll look forward to seeing how it comes out.
If you are into paper piecing take a look at the Kaleidoscope pattern at quilterscache.com - it's a 12" block.
This has nothing to do with Winding way's ,but on the site Doloris posted there is this trippy quilt. I wish they would show what the templet looked like.

Lorie it reminds me of the Virginia Reel or Snail's Trail made from the Square in a Square blocks. My guess is this is similar but with a "flattened" triangle.
Isn't it amazing the things we find when poking around on the web?
I'll have to look those up! That's just the sort of quilt my daughter would like to make. I'm just so amazed that there so many quilts in general. It would take a couple of life times to make all these!Quote:

I agree with Joyce. I got a bit offended by that lazy bit. I think it would've been nicer if she had just said for those not confident in working with a compass. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't criticize and just be happy she went to the effort to post all this for free. I think I'd spring for the templates. It would just make the whole process so much easier having proper tools. If you make the quilt let us know what you think of the glue basting seams technique. I'd go with Flynn's templates. His price is doable.
I finally broke down and bought the die for the accuquilt Go. Was an excellent investment. Had everything cut quickly and it went together so much easier. There are notches for matching on the pieces with the die.
thanks for this link! Good prices for templates and I didn't realize he did them.
