My Favorite Ruler™

Our Price 15% off: $14.45

Ruler close-up to show you some of the great advantages.

1. Numbered left to right or right to left. Easy to use whether for the right- or left-handed user. No twirling around the ruler to find the numbers.

2. Visually strong verticals. The most common use for this ruler is cutting strips so the legibility of the vertical lines and numbers is emphasised. Heavier lines every half-inch making counting easier. At the eight-inch and 16-inch markers are an additional set of inch-mark numbers so your eyes don't have to go the length of the ruler to confirm a measurement.

Baby Bear
Linked Cheyrons
Papa Bear

This simple block is as easy as 1-2-3 seams with our two-strip trick. A variation of the classic Log Cabin block, the basic Chevron block is colored two different ways and rotated to make this wonderful Linked Chevrons quilt design.

Use our easy-to-follow layouts in six different combinations to create a quilt exactly the size you want.

Also includes—

• What size is a quilt?

• How to calculate border yardage for any quilt.

• How to use fusible thread to add a binding.

All of these quilts are made following the 5 by 7 layout. Changing the cut strip width only ¼-inch on each quilt changes the width approximately 7” and the length 9”.

To make Papa Bear long enough for a twin bed, two extra rows of blocks were also added. This versatility to customize quilt sizes is one of the wonderful benefits of strip techniques.

Four other layouts included.
