Marti Michell Perfect Patchwork Templates

I recently took a class from Marti Michell http://www.frommarti.com/ at Lake Farm Parks http://www.lakemetroparks.com/programs/quilts2010.shtml, it was awesome!!  I had been using some of Marti's templates and wanted to meet her and learn some tips. 

I first used her Kaleido-Ruler, Small on this Scarlet and Gray Kaleidoscope Wall Hanging.



My next project used her Log Cabin ABC's book, Log Cabin Ruler and some of the Perfect Patchwork Templates.  I had seen a sample of this at The Glass Thimble in Columbus, Ohio http://www.glassthimble.com/


The next quilt was made using Marti's Rolling Star Strippity-Do-Dah Pattern  and templates.  I had purchased a Scarlet and Gray jelly roll from Calico Cupboard in Pataskala, Ohio http://www.calico-cupboard.com/ and these templates work perfectly.  You need a mechanical pencil for marking the pieces.

Now I'm working on a 12 inch sampler similar to Marti's below.


I have my center done.
