I finished off the Alphabet block I had started yesterday.
Then I got serious about the Pi quilt. I cut lots of strips. Now I just need to cut out 2400 + parts and sew them back together.
I had printed out a circle divided into twelve sections and drew 4" and 5" squares on it, because I hadn't decided what size I was going with until now. They are going to be 4" squares. I made templates from this. I only need a "one" and a "two". The "one" works for 4, 7, and 10 also. The "two" makes up the 2, 5, 8 and 11.
From the big pile of strips I cut, I used those templates to cut out parts for the 177 blocks needed.
And sewed them together.
I trimmed those squares down using the Drunkard's Path templates I got from BettyCrockerass. I marked the 'one' and 'two' lines on this quarter circle using the 'clock' printout above. I used a pigma pen to make the lines, but they still were rubbing off, so I put transparent tape over them.
What I really like about these templates are the holes used for marking. When I trim, I also mark the center with a small pencil dot.
