I also have the Easy Angle ruler and have done two of Bonnie’s mysteries. I have a set of Bloc Lock rulers that I use quite often and a two Creative Grid specialty rulers that I have not taken the plastic off yet. I think one is a log cabin and Snails Trail.

I have all kinds of specialty rulers from mini's for mini quilts, table runners,hot pads, coasters etc.to stripology rulers for cutting larger strips.....the one I don't have is the 60 degree triangle. How did I miss that one??

My wife and I are gadget junkies (suckers) and have purchased rulers/tools for many techniques just because they looked interesting. We have nearly all of Deb Tucker's tools and have used them all except Hunter's Star. We get the perfect units she promises with her tools every time. Hands down the Deb Tucker tools are my favorites.

We also love Gyleen Fitzgerald's Pineapple tool. We have made several blocks with it and have a ton of our scraps cut into 1.5" strips just waiting for their turn to be made into a quilt.

I recently used Julie Herman's Sidekick tool to make a diamond quilt. It just lacks the binding so I hope to post it soon. It isn't perfect, but overall I'm happy with the result. I'd like to try the tool with one of her patterns to see if I get better results. We have her Night Sky pattern so I hope to try that soon.

I have used the Creative Grids strip cutter ruler at a demo and found I didn't like it. I must be an oddball because I see so many of you love yours, along with the June Taylor fans. If I ever see another demo I'll have to try again.

My favorite is the Creative Grids Pineapple Block rulers. My most used rulers are my 2 1/2 inch strip ruler and Stripology ruler. I also have several Marti Michel templates that I use quite often .

I like the 4 x 8 inch Omnigrid ruler with the 1/8 inch grid for cutting small pieces.

Oh I forgot one of my most needed when needed is the Creative Grids 7/8 ruler. All the markings are in 7/8! It starts at 7/8" and goes to 1 7/8", 2 7/8, 3 7/8 etc.

I have several specialty rulers, but the one I use the most is the Add-A-Quarter ruler for paper piecing. So much easier than a regular ruler.

Yes, this is the one ruler I use all the time. I love it because it makes cutting so fast and easy for me. The other ruler I love is the one I use for squaring up HSTs. It is also J. Taylor. I love my 60* triangle ruler for kaleidoscopes, and my Slide-locks for helping me be stronger in using the other rulers.
