I bought the wedge die when it was on sale. One of the uses is for a wonky Roman coin quilt or to use as a border.
I decided to put them edge to edge and see how many it would take to do a circle. It looks like 19 1/2 for a half circle unless I don't have them perfectly lined up. That is a yardstick so the circle would be larger than 36".
I could fold them in half and sew a seam across both ends.
Then push out the points on both ends.
That would make the wedge 8 5/8" tall. A ring of them could be appliqued to a background. I'll keep playing with this one.
I found a box with some leftover 4.5" strips in it and decided to die cut some Hunter Star pieces. I sewed the partial blocks and first laid them out totally scrappy.
Them I laid them out with matched pairs. Either way works. I'll keep cutting and sewing and some day have enough blocks for a quilt.
I had another die I bought awhile ago, the LeMoyne Star also on sale, and I hadn't used it yet. I cut a couple sample blocks and sewed them. Like I said, just playing.........
My two friends are coming over today to sew. I may work on my Farm Girl Vintage blocks.
