I had to go to a dental checkup yesterday so I had to treat myself for going with a smile although I hated to go.

I got the book and the ruler.


I know tube quilts are a favorite for many here. Anyone have the book or ruler? I know a regular ruler can be used but I was already buying the book so may as well get the ruler too.

:D

I have the book and the ruler. Anyone could use the ruler without the book although there are a few different patterns in the book that are created by just cutting your strips in different widths. Here's a photo of one quilt I made using the ruler. I found the pattern on the web and it said to use a piece of cardboard to cut the pieces, but I used the ruler and it worked out great.

Super nice quilt! Thanks for posting the picture. The ruler looks like it will be mindless to use and I won't have to look at measurements with each cut. I like mindless with no math.
