To get exact matches with your striped points, be sure you cut identical strips from the striped fabric.
Tool Preparation
Apply adhesive non-slip rings to both the back and front side of the tool. You need to have these on both sides as you'll be cutting pieces with the tool flipped over. On the back side of the tool place a strip of pink glow tape on the 30 degree line as shown. Place a strip of yellow tape on the opposite 30 degree line.
Using this tape has helped me keep the cuts straight. We'll continue to use these markings on the next few month's blocks. You can find the glow tape at many quilt shops and online stores, including mine.
top cut line ™
bottom cut line
Notice the little slots in the tool? This is how you'll know where to cut the shorter Squedge pieces. Use a mechanical pencil to mark a line in each slot onto the fabric. Cut around the other sides of the tool, then remove the tool. Using a straight edge (or the outside edge of this tool) connect the marked lines and cut across the bottom of the Squedge piece. © 2013 Cheryl Phillips
