11.25 Degree Squedge Tutorial
Squedge 11.25 Tutorial
You'll have lots of choices allowing you to play with multiple colors and fabrics. Each quadrant uses eight pieces, each block uses thirty two pieces. Flip flopping the tool to get reverse images gets easier as you go! This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the Squedges before you try more advanced patterns.
Tool Preparation
Apply adhesive rings such as True Grips™ to both the back and front of the Squedge tool. This will keep the tool from slipping while cutting.

11.25 Degree Squedge Tutorial
Squedge 11.25 Tutorial
It takes thirty two Squedge 11.25 pieces to make a square block. The block finishes at 16" square. (16 ½" unfinished.) The Squedge 11.25 makes both square and triangular quadrants.
When I create a pattern, one of the first things I want to know is the strip widths I’ll need and how many to cut. I work from tables like the one shown on this page. It makes life so much simpler. I hope they are helpful to you too.
