(The candlemat above is a pinwheel too.) This quilt is well loved and has been washed a few times for that old-timey look. This adds a lot of movement to the quilt design. Note that the right and left points on the star are different, the left is black while the right is purple, so it matches up with the center pinwheel. The center of this block is a pinwheel, so the star pinwheels through the center. Here’s another quilt I made, this time adding some yellow squares to the purple stars, and adding the same yellow to the sashing as cornerstones. Here is the allover print TriRecs star without the cornerstones shown in the candlemat, quilted in the table runner. It became the Patriotic Table Runner with the addition of some plain print blocks. On this project, I used plain background squares for the corners. Sew in rows, press the seam allowances to the left on the top and bottom rows, and to the right on the middle row so the seams will nest. Multiply by the number of blocks you want to make. Saves a lot of frogging!Ĭut 4-1/2 inch squares of fabric, one red for the center and four white for the corners. By now you know that I am a big fan of laying things out multiple times to be sure you are doing it right. I like to do them chain style with all the right sides at once, then all the left so I don’t get mixed up. Press the red outward with the seam allowance under the red. Note that the cut off point fits neatly on the angle showing you just where to sew. Place the red unit on top of the white one, right sides together. I put my fabric right sides together and cut two at once. Note that you need a right and left red triangle. I want the finished block to be 12 inches, so I use a 4-1/2 measurement for the Tri Rec units. Start with cutting your triangles using the angle rulers. Once you get the star point units done, it is a basic nine-patch. There are also templates available all over the internet. So you can see how easy this is, here is the basic instruction using the rulers.
TRI RECS RULER TOOL SET FREE
This was also my first attempt at stippling free motion quilting on my domestic machine. Here is a candle mat with just one block, with squares added to the corners. I have done several quilts and projects with it, and I’ll probably do more. My local quilt shop had the rulers, and I saw a demo there. No affiliation here, but I really like the Tri Recs ruler set that makes an elongated star. Sometimes you look at buying a ruler set and wonder if you will ever make more than one quilt with it.
