Diamond Dimensions Backgrounds

Thursday, September 5th, 2013

I received an inquiry from Quiltbasket.com.  The question was – Did I have the measurements for the background pieces to accompany the Creative Grids Diamond Dimensions Ruler? Well, I hadn’t thought of that but many thanks to Cathy for spurring me on. I thought it was a great idea!

So if you want to make a star like this one

or something along these lines, here’s what you need.

Follow the directions included in the ruler for cutting diamonds. Or if you’ve lost them, here’s a link to them. Diamond Dimensions Ruler instructions.

Now you need a little more information to complete the star. I’ve included the background cutting sizes for the 8″ diamond all the way down to the 2″ diamond. So here they are – click on the link.

Maybe this will come in handy for all you Diamond Dimension Ruler fans. I know it will for me!
