Today I'd like to share a tip that has helped me plan out what I want to stitch on a quilt when it's ruler work or freehand. I bought a piece of plexiglass from the hardware store and had my husband cut it to the size I wanted. I put black electricians tape around the edge so I could see it easily. When I want to test out a design idea I use this! I don't remember when I learned this tip, but it's not original to me.
Today I'm working on my Circa 1880 nine patch quilt and I'm trying out a border design that uses a curve ruler that I turn different directions.
After deciding on the design above, I marked my quilt border with the curves and I'm satisfied with the design!
I plan on entering my quilt in a quilt show in October so I need to get busy!
