One thing you may not know is that finding quilting tools in India is quite difficult. I am very lucky that we have a quilt shop in town to send my quilts to as this is quite rare here. One thing that is nearly impossible to find locally is rulers and the imported ones are very expensive. When I wrote up my triangle pattern, I decided it might be worth it to try and get a triangle ruler printed here. That way people in my community could actually attempt this quilt. My husband worked in Adobe Illustrator which for triangles, was actually harder than it originally seemed. After a lot of trial and error, we came up with this one.
One of my mistakes in this process was assuming the triangle I was using from Quilt Sense Wonder Triangles was a 60° angle. It wasn’t. It was less than 60 but not enough to be super specific in a way that people would connect to. This took a lot of trial and error because I’d already made the example quilt.
Now that we have a file, we can send it off to the local vendor and get a test run. Here goes nothing!
