Popular Post Scrappile Posted February 21, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I saw a similar piece on Scroller's Cafe, a quilt block memorial for a quilter lady that passed away. It was done my a member named Driver. I just thought it was really neat and so I made one for my wife. Not a memorial, just to hang in her quilt room. Heppnerguy did the pattern for the saying that will hang below the quilt block. Thank you, Dick and thanks to "Jollyred", "Worbler" and "Birchbark" who also made patterns. I will use them if I get more requests for this piece. I really enjoyed making the quilt block and know I will make others. I hope to improve my jig that I used to cut the 32 triangles with. It is just a hair off. Does good, but not perfect. On the quilt block I used: Zebra Wood, Bloodwood, Black Walnut and Sycamore. The plaque is Butternut.

trackman Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 That is great! Can you show the jig you used to make those great cuts? Thanks Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I tried several configurations with my miter gauge and saw fence and just could not come up with a very accurate, repeatable, and safe method. Then I remembered my picture frame jig I had hanging on the wall. I made it sever years ago. It worked great. I add a the stripes of wood to work as stop with double sided tape. With this I cut a triangle, flipped the wood over and cut the next triangle. There are times I wish I wouldn't have flipped the wood, so the grain would have match better, (same side of the wood up). I now have something I am going to try next time so I can move the wood from the left to the right side of the jig to cut the next triangle. I would also like to make a similar jig with a 60 degree angle to making diamonds. I always enjoy jig making. Frank Pellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
