Rulers

On the retreat one of my deadline projects was to prepare some blocks to illustrate the use of some special rulers. Next Monday I'm going to a patchwork group to talk about ones used to make more common shapes in patchwork: half square and quarter square triangles, "Peaky & Spike", square in a square, 60 degree triangles and kaleidoscope shapes. Today I've tried to get going on assembling some of my motley units into a top and I am quite pleased. I like the serendipity of patchwork.

At least with the angle rulers, you don't have to worry about inches and centimeters!
