Sharon, this quilt is STUNNING!!! I love your creativity and I love your creative process. Your quilts are lovely! I’m eager to make the triangle-and-half-circle quilt to use up my batiks on baby quilts for donating. My plan is black-and-white prints for backgrounds. Your creativity sparks my creativity! ❤

Love this, ❤ but would like a chart about different sizes please.

Is there a formula for different sizes of orange peel? I would really like to make different sizes but I don't understand the cutting ratio. First time using the ruler.

@ColorGirlQuilts 3 ай бұрын

to cut the orange peel shapes, you need a fabric strip as wide as the distance between the ends of the cutting grooves for the size you want to cut. Notice in the video how I positions the strip to cut the shapes - the fabric width spans across the groove for cutting the convex curve. you can can cut any size you want by measuring this width.

How do you handle all of those scenes coming together in the middle of the four blocks? I made a sample four pack and those seams coming together are very thick.. I'm afraid to brake a needle and have to learn how to time my machine 😢

I just purchased this ruler, very excited, do you always cut 3/4 on each of the outside fabric before cutting down using the ruler, no matter what size Orange peel you are cutting?

@ColorGirlQuilts 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! yes, as long as you cut the background fabric square 1" larger than your intended block (the cutting groove you plan to use), then you cut 3/4" from the two opposite corners.

@annedeister2607 5 жыл бұрын

Can you use this ruler and trim the blocks with only 1/4" instead of 3/8" so when they are sewn together the points of the peel actually meet?

@ColorGirlQuilts 5 жыл бұрын

Sure! You can cut the blocks as big or small as you want, leaving more or less fabric outside the curve shape. I usually go with 3/8" because it gets them very close when sewn together but you don't lose the points in the seam allowance. I find that when I cut down to 1/4" it's very difficult to get a nice flat finish due to all the bulk, then the sharp points of the orange peels get kind of lost and smooshed in trying to press the seam.

I don't know why, but applique just seems like a more painful process. I know the curved seams are a learning curve (lol such a pun) but once the muscle memory is there, I feel like I'd save a lot of thread and time compared to sewing down raw edge applique. My ruler is on order and I can't wait! I've watched this vid a couple of times and I've got fabric on order already for a gift quilt I'm planning. How many layers would you recommend cutting at once? I imagine if I'm careful I can do a few peels at once without fabric slipping on me, but I figured I'd ask. :)

thank you! I'm so glad you are giving it a try. Piecing is definitely easier than applique IMO (-:

Is there a cutting chart for making larger orange peel blocks ?

@ColorGirlQuilts 5 жыл бұрын

I have not published a chart for all sizes. Each pattern includes the instructions for cutting the pieces you need.

@cindylamont6240 2 жыл бұрын

Could you have folded a sized piece of fabric rectangle to only do one cut for the orange peel?

@ColorGirlQuilts 2 жыл бұрын

yes, you definitely can do that. I've done them that way if I'm using smaller scraps and cutting single orange peel shapes. I show how to do it this way so you can see how to cut several from one piece of fabric (-:
