My choices would be a 12.5 inch square ruler, a 6" X 24" ruler, and a 6" X 12" ruler. When or if you dabble in paper piecing or making smallish blocks (six inches or smaller), you will also probably want a 6" X 8" and 4" X 4" ruler. Having the smaller rulers makes cutting and trimming while you are piecing easier as you can do it in place and don't have to manipulate a big ruler at your sewing space. I like OmniGrid rulers, although it seems every quilter has their own preferences as to size and brand. They are readily available at most quilt stores and at Jo-Ann's.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196337009357860734.post-54623882029569076432012-12-25T21:16:44.084-06:002012-12-25T21:16:44.084-06:00Oh ho, now the truth comes out.

It will be fun to see how this project develops!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196337009357860734.post-87873710126651254692012-12-25T21:06:02.595-06:002012-12-25T21:06:02.595-06:00Whew girl you are prolific!

I try to sew 15-30 minutes each night after Punkin gets to sleep, I don't always make my goal but I get there often enough to keep me happy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06444759983549225712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196337009357860734.post-53703820298280956242012-12-25T00:52:29.674-06:002012-12-25T00:52:29.674-06:00well done you, book arrived and block made all in ...well done you, book arrived and block made all in the one day, like the design, does having the right tool makes it easier to get the shapes right, there seem to be so many templates on the market, being new to quilting I wonder what I need as opposed to what I want!!margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.com
