Jewel Box Gems 30 Quilt Ruler by Cheryl Phillips of Phillips Fiber Art

BThe Jewel Box Gem Thirty is a great addition to the Jewel Box family. Three Gem Thirty pieces sewn together makes a Gem Ten. When you substitute a three pieced Gem Ten in the existing designs you add a whole different flavor to your projects. You can also divide the Gem Five into six sections. The Bonus pattern uses simple strip sets of 2 1/2” strips cut into wedges sewn to one piece Gem 30 wedges. It is a surprisingly simple design with the illusion of complexity. In other words, it looks like you’ve worked harder than you really had to. The project includes a template for the background pieces, although using a Gem Ten tool makes it much easier. As its name implies, it takes thirty pieces to complete a “circle”. The Gem Thirty makes lovely projects by itself as well.
