These are the rulers that Bonnie Hunter used in her Celtic Solstice mystery last year. In her video she explains that the Tri-Recs triangles are odd degrees, so it would be difficult to use our regular rulers.

Oh, I'm so glad the the quiz was cancelled. I am so busy right now I can only spend 1 hour one this site. I really have to hop around fast. And the ruler is a nice one to have.

I bought the tri-rex rulers and they do work.

A square is a rectangle with all sides the same length. Simple explanation. I married a math PhD and learned a lot of things that make life easier to understand.

If memory serves the tri-rec was created due to a famous quilter, now passed, who used that block in many of her design. Her name has escaped me, as is the name she called her block...something like spikey and ?.....I'm sure someone will remember......

For some reason I am totally enamored of any quilt with this particular patch: 54:40, Tennessee Waltz, Storm at Sea, Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice etc. etc. |

I recently purchased Darlene Zimmerman & Joy Hoffman Tri-Recs for a particular quilt pattern I wanted to try. I know one can accomplish the same block without one, but I'm thinking it is much easier and more accurate, at least for me. When paired together the square is cut on grain. There are lots of fun projects to use the tool with. This is the pattern I am working on now laid out on my dinning room table.Gorgeous
