Bellaboo, it was interesting to hear your message about the strip tube book and ruler. I have the ruler but not the book. What is neat is that Daniela of Cozy Quilts invented the ruler etc. I took my beginning quilt classes at her shop. She is the creator of the Strip Club. I used to go to the demo once a month. You'd get a free pattern. She would also have jelly rolls of the fabric used in the pattern you could buy. I still have many projects I haven't started yet. She is also the gal who got MODA interested,and then they started making the jelly rolls. You would love going to the demo, she is a fun person and they also have sharing. I don't go as often, am trying to use what I have and finish UFOS. Have fun using your ruler !!! It is a nice reward for enduring the dentist !!! Take care, Sunflower Sue
