Ugh not the most accurate but I love the bright fabrics she used. So proud of my friend for wanting to use these blocks. (And paying for them to be made). Gyleen is a wonderful teacher and has wonderful ideas.

He can get real scroungy looking when he is working, but he cleans up right nice! :-)) <br /><br />Your pineapple quilt is gorgeous. A really good advert for the special ruler. I tried one once sans paper or special ruler. Right tricky. And frustrating. Yours looks great.Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-68518746452635260852016-01-23T11:03:03.039-07:002016-01-23T11:03:03.039-07:00Judy did an amazing job and fast too.

I bought one (a different designer) after paper-piecing some blocks (too tedious). Unfortunately the one I got didn't work for the blocks I was making (hexagon shaped) although the test block made with it did get used in a project. One day a full quilt! Look forward to seeing yours!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-37966625585249472282016-01-23T00:37:50.318-07:002016-01-23T00:37:50.318-07:00Great save of the vintage blocks.
