Well done tutorial! Thanks for sharing! I have the curved ruler. Definitely going to use up some bright scraps, as well as my low volume or black n white fabrics I have. Thank you!

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! ❤

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.

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

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.

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 (-:
