I wanted to make a pinwheel quilt but I hate those measurement - cut 48 - 3 7/8" squares (I hate 7/8ths). For some reason measurements like that remind me of my dear dad being up the shed with him and him talking about drill bits. I digress, my very knowledgeable friend Lorraine introduced me to this amazing ruler. You just cut a strip of fabric then lay the contrasting materials right sides facing and then cut your triangles by flipping the ruler. Then sew them together.
It is super fast and very easy.

I had my pinwheels cut out and put together,quilted and binding sewn on in no time .
The ruler is also very economical and I got an extra pinwheel per strip, so I had a pinwheel in each colour left over, so I was able to piece the back.
No quilt is complete without a label.
I now have a star quilt I want to make so I can use the ruler to make that.
I'm fairly sure Lorraine does a class on how to use these rulers if you are interested.
