I was looking for a ruler I think and I came across this box with all sorts of quilting things, bobbins, thread, patterns, rulers, and these things. I have no idea what they are, can someone help me?

this is the one I'm really confused about

The top ones, the almost circles are for free motion quilting

The first one is some kind of machine quilting hoop, the second looks like a rotary cutter blade sharpener. If not someone else will correct me.:)

The first two are fabric movers - I guess you would call them that. You place them on top of your fabric and use them to help guide your fabric under the needle when you are machine quilting.

The 'pink thing' is a cutting mat restorer. You go over your cutting mat to smooth out the cuts and clean away the threads that are always left.

I don't know about the turquoise things. Maybe a rotary cutter sharpener? HTH

I agree! I have almost square ones that do the same thing. The other items...sorry, no clue.

The green thing is to sharpen the rotary blades.

Yep, the pink thing is cutting mat restorer/cleaner, and the green thing is a rotary blade sharpener. I don't know about the hoop-like thinks.

Sharpener Instructions:
1.Unscrew handles and place blade on screw of bottom handle. Screw top and bottom handles together. 2.Hold sharpening disk in one hand, position blade directly onto abrasive disk and twist back and forth a few times. Use coarse side (beige) of sharpening disk to smooth damaged blade edges. Use fine side (gray) to sharpen dull blade to a razor sharp finish. 3.Sharpen both sides of blade equally. Apply a very small drop of fine oil to blade every 10 to 20 times to enhance sharpening process.

Pink thing is for smoothing your cutting mat. Just rub it over the surface.

Even though it looks like they nest, you use one or the other, not both together. When you free motion, you need to move the fabric, so you need to 'get a grip'. You just lay the circle on top of your fabric sandwich and hold the little handle thingies. There's gripper rubber on the bottom to grab the fabric sandwich, so you can move the fabric around. I have one, but like gloves better.
