Quilting Ruler: Dual Semicircles

Along the same lines as the 45° triangle quilting ruler and the small arc quilting ruler, this one has a nonstandard 6-¼ inch diameter semicircle for the pattern Mary designed for a friend’s quilt:

Semicircular Ruler - on quilt
Semicircular Ruler – on quilt

The 4-½ inch diameter semicircle is there because the larger half needed a handle for easier maneuvering. As with workshop clamps, quilters can never have enough rulers, so that curve will come in handy for something.

Unfortunately, I did not mirror-image the layout like this:

Semicircular Ruler - LightBurn layout
Semicircular Ruler – LightBurn layout

Which would make it correct when seen through the acrylic:

Semicircular Ruler - engraving
Semicircular Ruler – engraving

Given the very specific use case, I begged forgiveness and was not compelled to get it right.

The LightBurn SVG layout is a GitHub Gist.
