A cry for help!!!

Hi Everyone,



I have searched, until I am frazzled, on the internet for plastic template for the 1/4 circles that make up the drunkards path or any of the larger 1/4 circle blocks.



Does anyone have any idea where I can find these templates? In plastic? I can print them out from my quilt programs but then they are just paper.



Thanks so much for saving me,

Here's one source. I know there are others! There are some on this page.

What about making your own? You can use the one printed out from the quilt program as a guide.

I own far too many template sets from Come Quilt With Me. They are great and accurate. It looks like she has drunkards path in 3", 4" and

6" finished block sizes.

I have some of the individual templates, but found the "Cut around" (???) templates and much prefer them. The CA are in different sizes, and there are multiple arcs on each one. So you can cut any size "circle" you want from them. They have a mini, a "small" a medium and a very large one with some overlap (I think) between them. Works for cutting quarter, half or full circles depending on how you fold, or don't fold the fabric.

Pati, > Hi Everyone,

Take your paper copy to a glass shop. They can cut you a plexiglass template -- just be sure to specify how thick you want the plexiglass (acrylic) and be sure they sand the edges.

Shouldn't cost too terribly much at all!

Transfer them to those inexpensive nearly clear plastic sheets sold in almost all fabric stores. I also use heavy duty poster board (Wally World) to make templates.

Kate, I love that idea. I will have to look into that. I can print off the paper templates using my quilting program so I could take that to the glass company.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, food for thought,

Thanks,

Thanks for all of the good ideas. I really appreciate you all. It is nice to have such a wonderful group that you can "cry for help" and so many come running. :-)

There are so many small templates but I am looking for something around an 8" block so at least now I have some options.

Peace,
