WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH ONE RULER/TOOL

Have you seen all the special rulers out lately?  I’d love to try them, but hate spending money on a ruler that I will use only once.  The other day Chris gave me the Wedge Ruler by Creative Grids and told me to play with it.  So I did. 

Much to my surprise, I found that there are lots of wonderful patterns for using these various rulers in the shop.  I chose this pattern above.  However, after the first couple blocks I decided not to make an entire quilt and made the table topper in the first picture.

Then I took a second look at the pattern that comes with the ruler and decided to use my scraps to make that block.  It made a nice table topper.

I liked that pattern so much that I got some brighter fabrics and made another table runner.  I really like this one.

Then I thought, what else can I do with this ruler?  I made the wedge square and then placed wonky strips across the bottom of each block and came up with this cute block with the star in the middle.  This was such a fun ruler that now I’d like to make the large quilt in the first pattern that I showed you.  I would recommend getting this ruler and looking at all the new patterns for using these rulers in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.
