I just eye-balled it and trimmed a small piece of fabric to have five sides to begin. In my <a rel="nofollow">notes on making the block</a>, I suggest starting with a non-square–a triangle or hexagon works well, too. <br /><br />I won't be winning these blocks, because I'm donating my chances to any first-timers that join the block lotto this month. But I do have a plan for a quilt with a border of red and pink roses.sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408822963659450038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-27455080062220006522010-08-03T07:45:13.495-06:002010-08-03T07:45:13.495-06:00what is the name of the ruler that you use with th...what is the name of the ruler that you use with this block to get the 5 sided shape?
