Minewood Quilting

With this set you can make 5-patch 12 inch blocks, but also in different sizes. It contains 5 templates, to cut 7 different shapes.

This book contains a large number of blocks that you can make with set L or set M. The 5-patch blocks of set M and the 7-patch blocks of set L produce 12 inch blocks, but by interchanging the sets, or set the blocks on point, you can also make blocks of 8.5, 16.75, 17 and 23.75 inch.

With the new set S you can make these blocks in 6 inch. Great for blocks from books such as the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt or Sylvia's Bridal Sampler.

Template set O consists of  5 acrylic templates. With these templates, you can make feathered star blocks of 19 5/8 inch with a 6 inch centre square. The centre square can also be replaced by a 6 inch block. Most of the blocks in  Encyclopedia of Patchwork Blocks volume 1 and at least half of the blocks in volume 3 can be made in 6 inch size.

Set R consists of two triangles (Peaky and Spike) with which you can make 5 inch units for 10 and 15 inch blocks. This set is compatible with set Q.  The templates are made of the same acrylic material as quilt rulers, so they can be used with a rotary cutter. First, strips are cut of the right width, and then the templates are positioned on the strips, to make the second cut. Each template has double blunt corners for perfect alignment. The blocks go together past, easy and perfect!  

This set is for 5-patch blocks of 6 inch square. A very useful set fo making blocks of e.g. Sylvia's Bridal Sampler and Farme's Wife Sampler Quilt. Up till now, there were no templates of the right size for 5-patch blocks (6 inch divided into a grid of 5 x 5).

The book Encyclopedia of Patchwork Blocks volume 4 contains a lot of blocks that you can make with sets L, M and S. Wih set S you make the blocks of 6 inch.

Do you love the kits with 2,5 inch strips? You can find Bali Pops in the Hoffman department. Marti Michell has introduced a set with three templates fitting the strips exactly. They give you 7 different shapes. Many of the patterns from her books can be made in a different size by using the strippers.

A great pattern with a three-dimensional effect. Marti brought two quilts in this pattern when she visited our shop. You can see them in the pictures of her visit. The size of the quilt in this pattern is 23,5 x 30,5 inches. It can be made with the 2,5 inch Strippers templates, that were made to fit the 2.5 strips of jelly rolls exactly. The sewing order for this pattern is different than you migth expect. You first sew half hexagons together into triangles (with simple set-in seams), which can then be sewn together edge to edge. The pattern also contains a bonus pattern, Mill Wheel. You can see the picture if you click the icon below the picture on the right.

Pattern for using the 2,5 inch strippers templates. The size of the table runner is 16 x 44,5 inch, 40.6 x 113 cm. this pattern is inspired by the Chevron Charm Antique Quilt in Encyclopedia of Patchwork Blocks Volume 6. Can be made with Bali Pops from the Hoffman department.
