Do you have a lot of specialty rulers/templates that you don’t use
much? I am unable to resist the sales
pitches and cute patterns/classes available for these types of rulers. I store mine in protective plastic page sheets
in a three-ring binder (unless they are extra big or extra long) and have often
used them just the once to make “that certain” quilt and never used them again.
Well, they came in handy the other day when I wanted to add
something extra to a Jelly Roll Race quilt.
This technique makes a very quick quilt top - Wee Folk Art has a good tutorial. My colorful top looked ok, but was a bit
boring and I thought it needed a punch of fun to be a good children’s donation quilt.
I saw a cute Hipster Cat pattern on Shwin and Shwin’s site
that I used for inspiration. Since I
didn’t want mine as large as theirs, I made my own pattern and I dragged out
these specialty rulers:
I forgot to take a photo of the circle template/ruler that I used for his head, but you can see that I used all of those triangle rulers - lol. My cat still needs eyes and a nose and to be stitched down,
but I think he’s turning out to be pretty cute.
I’ll post his photo again when I get him finished.
