In Love with my Shape Cut Ruler


I've started working on my Cowabunga Florabunda quilt...  it's going to be a KING size quilt/coverlet.  There are a LOT of pieces to be cut and sewn for this size quilt.  So....  I'm using my Shape Cut ruler for the first time...

Moda Bella Solid "Sunshine" (washed out in this photo)

The lines are easy to see and line up with the fabric and the Shape Cut ruler doesn't slip or move on the fabric like my regular ruler tends to do.   Zip, zip, zip, zip...   and you have four strips cut!


Even on the printed fabric, the dark lines are easy to see so you can get the ruler and fabric all lined up...   

 Moda "Hoopla" Blue Floral

...zip, zip, zip, zip!   And you have four more strips cut.


Once you have the strips sewn together.... zip, zip, zip, zip!


And your 2-patches are cut and ready to sew into 4-patches...


...with the cute little 4-patch at the seam intersection!


Seventy 4-patches down, 175 left to go!   Thank goodness for the Shape Cut ruler... it's making all the cutting so much easier!

Disclosure:  I was not paid to endorse this product nor was I given the Shape Cut ruler by anyone (other than my sister) or promised one.  However, the Shape Cut ruler is making life so much easier... especially when I get home from work and cutting fabric precisely is more challenging...  I wanted to share how much fun this ruler is.

Brilliant...Just Brilliant!


I was doing some blog-reading this morning and found some incredible information on the Happy Cottage Quilter blog that I just had to share with you!  It's brilliant...

Do you know what a "Shape Cut" ruler is?  



I have one... used it to cut the fringe edges of the no-sew, knotted fleece blankets.

Now... watch this short video about other things you can do with the June Tailor® Shape Cut™ Ruler!





If you can cut 2" squares....  you can cut 5" charm squares as well!   And diamonds!  And hexies!  My ole brain is racing with the possibilities!

And you know something.... one of the things I was going to do this morning was cut the Cowabunga Floribunda fabrics into strips.   Methinks, I'll be pulling out my June Tailor® Shape Cut™ Ruler.


Thank you for sharing this great info, Happy Cottage Quilter!
