I want to make several diamond silks with my own fabrics. If I make a 32" diamond silk, do you know what the width should be? Is there a ratio formula that I can follow? Thank you!

I don't know if there is some layed down rule but I've just measured a couple and they seem to be about 2.5 times as long as they are wide.

That is very kind of you to take a few minutes and measure them!! I really appreciate your assistance! The ratio sounds good to me, and I'll do the math with that 2.5 number! Thanks again!

Yes, you are so right about that! Thanks again, my friend! Appreciate your time and assistance! Posted: Aug 19, 2007 12:59pm I made four of them last night. I used your suggested 2.5 ratio. They came out pretty darn good! Thanks again!
