Quilt Squares

Very nice. A neat idea and very well done.

Did you have a source for the patterns or are they your own creation?

Also – I see a slight round over at the top of each piece. Is that done with a very small round over bit on the router or did you just sand the edge off or something else? They look quite uniform.

Thanks for the comment, Rich. I had a commercial plan sheet that had about 9 or 10 patterns. I created about the same number of additional patterns using a CADD program. I should have mentioned in the writeup that each piece (except border pieces) have a 1/8” roundover that I cut on my trim router table.

Dave, those are beautiful. I noticed the roundover but thought it was a chamfer. I also like how you continued the quilt theme to the outer frames by using butt joints. They add a nice contrast tp the mitered inner frame.

I was just reading an old post here about how to make a jig to cut triangles and diamonds to do these for a cutting board. My mom would love one of these. She is 91 and still quilting.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

Great patterning!

I’m glad so many of you enjoyed looking at these, and the comments are much appreciated. They are enough different from my previous projects to require a little learning curve, but after that, they go together rather quickly. If anyone has any questions about making them, drop me a message.

-- Dave O.

They look great

-- Safety first because someone needs you.

These are really beautiful. When I think about it I’m trying to imagine what a small room would look like with these covering the walls. It might be overpowering I suppose. Anyways they are wonderful.
