![]() Definitely more pricey and aren’t sold as a set. If you are interested in making larger triangle in a square units or half rectangle units, Creative Grids offers the Perfect Rectangle and the Triangle Squared Rulers. I also displayed another table topper using the tool - I hope to have it finished soon. I absolutely loved the backing fabric used for both placemats and table runner. Each quarter section of the pinwheel is made with a 3 x 6 half rectangle triangle, a 3.5 x 3.5 inch half square triangle, plus (1) 3.5 x 3.5 unfinished squares of background fabric for the corners.Īfter adding sashing and border the table runner measures 15 x 41 inches. Each triangle in a square finishes at 3 inches - you need 8 units to make the petal block, you also need (4) 3.5 x 3.5 unfinished squares of background fabric for the corners.Īgain using recs only portion I designed a funky pinwheel block that also finishes at 12 inches. The petal block finishes at 12 x 12 inches. The fabric I used was from Moda’s V&Co ombre basics line.įor our table runner I created a petal block and used the 6.5 x 6.5 inch square of background fabric in the center for the embroidery. The placemats are 12 x 18 inches, each half rectangle unit measures 3 x 6 inches – you need 12 units to make one placemat. Our first project was piecing simple hrt units for placemats using the recs only portion of the tool. The tricky part is understanding if you need a right or left diagonal seam – it’s best to sketch out your design before cutting the fabric - I learned the hard way ? The recs portion of the tool allows you to make half rectangle triangles - which is my favorite. Initially I had trouble with the set but after watching Bonnie Hunter’s videos the light bulb came on and I’ve loved the Tri-Recs rulers ever since. There is a cut off angle on the recs portion of the combo set that makes aligning and sewing the units extremely accurate. I find it to be one of the handiest ruler sets I own. The Tri-Recs ruler combination is the easy way to make triangles with in a square – a popular feature in many patchwork quilt patterns.
