Do you have a favorite piecing ruler?
So the other day I was watching a video on you tube how to make a strip quilt and the lady used a ruler called the Strip Tube Ruler it cost around $17.95. From what I have seen you can make many different quilt patterns with this ruler. I was wondering if any of you have a ruler like this? and Do you have a favorite piecing ruler?

I have the strip tube ruler but haven't used it yet. Our guild has a ruler of the month where someone demonstrates a ruler she really likes. One of the members demonstrated the strip tube and I was really impressed so I bought it. There are a couple of books out on strip tube quilts too.

I have many favorite rulers can't choose just one. They are like lays potato chips LOL

I have the strip ruler and like it. BUT you can do the same thing with a square ruler if you just turn it sideways. My favorite is the Elenore Burns Flying Geese rulers.

I LOVE my strip piece ruler but I bought mine on eBay for $10.39+$2.42 for shipping. I pieced this quilt for charity without a pattern. This ruler does make cutting strip blocks so easy. I have watched many u-tube videos to help without a pattern. A friend from my church's group is quilting it on her LA. Can't wait til I can start another. I have so many UFOs, I am trying to get them down to a reasonable amount (If THAT is possible!). :)

I have it and use it a lot. One of my new favorites is the Creative Grid 120 degree Triangle ruler. It's 21" long. I took it to a sew day and everyone started sewing strips together to use it.

Just ordered the strip Jr. since I like the big one. Like what you did with yours ManiacQuilter2. Going to use some Christmas fabrics to make some either quilts or bedrunners. Haven't decided yet LOL

Wow thanks so much for showing your quilt picture it is just wonderful, I will look on ebay and see if I can get the ruler cheaper. I know what is on my list for next time to buy when it comes to rulers, its nice to know if something works before you buy it.
