Abstract
The quilting tool has at least one surface defining an angle of 116.6 degrees. A transparent plate is imprinted with at least two guidelines allowing the cutting off of a portion of a fabric strip, resulting in a trapezoidal fabric pattern.
Claims24
A quilting tool, comprising:
- a. a transparent plate having at least a first major surface and a second major surface, a straight edge and an angular edge, said angular edge intersects said straight edge at an angle of 116.6 degrees;
- b. a first straight guideline imprinted on a major surface of said plate, said first straight guide line extending perpendicular to said straight edge;
- and
- c. a second straight guide line imprinted on a major surface of said plate, parallel with said straight edge, said second guideline perpendicularly intersecting said first guideline and terminating proximate to said angled edge.

A quilting tool, comprising:
- a. a transparent plate having a first major surface and a second major surface, at least a straight edge and an angular edge extending in an oblique direction, said angular edge intersecting with said straight edge to form an angle of 116.6 degrees;
- b. a first set of longitudinally spaced, transversely extending and parallel guidelines imprinted on a major surface of said plate, said first set of guidelines extending perpendicular to said straight edge;
- and
- c. a second set of transversely spaced, longitudinally extending and parallel guidelines imprinted on a major surface of said plate, the individual guidelines of said second set of guidelines parallel with said straight edge, said second set of guidelines joining perpendicular to said first set of guidelines.

A quilting tool, comprising:
- a. a transparent plate having a first major surface and a second major surface, a first longitudinally extending edge which is the longest edge, a second longitudinally extending edge which is parallel to said first longitudinally extending edge, a third transversely extending edge which intersects and is perpendicular to said first and second extending edges, and a fourth obliquely extending edge which intersects with said second side to form an angle of 116.6 degrees;
- b. a first set of guidelines imprinted on a major surface of said plate, the individual guidelines of said first set of guidelines parallel with each other and parallel with said third edge and perpendicular to said second side;
- c. a second set of guidelines imprinted on a major surface of said plate, the individual guidelines of said second set of guidelines parallel with each other and parallel with said first edge and terminating proximate said first set of sub-guidelines;
- d. a third set of guidelines imprinted on a major surface of said plate, the individual guidelines of said third set of guidelines parallel with each other and adjacent to and perpendicular to said third edge;
- e. a fourth set of guidelines imprinted on a major surface of said transparent plate, the individual guidelines of said fourth set of guidelines parallel with each other and parallel with said fourth edge and extending from said first edge and terminating proximate the junction with said third set of guidelines;
- f. a vertical line extending between said second edge and said first edge and at right angles thereto so as to define a trapezoid with said fourth edge, said first edge and said second edge, wherein the distance between said point of intersection of said second edge and said fourth edge and said vertical line is 0.40 inches;
- and
- g. a reference line extending from the second edge at a mirror image angle to the 116.6 angle formed by the intersection of the second edge and the fourth edge, to a point on the first edge 0.40 inches from the intersection of the first edge and the third edge.
