Easy Angle & Companion Angle Rulers
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 5:31 pm
Somewhere along the way I bought or was given both the Easy Angle and Companion Angle Rulers. They allow you to make Half Square triangles and quarter square triangles out of strips.

Until I started on Bonnie Hunters Orange Crush Mystery earlier this summer, these two rulers were in the bottom of my ruler box, never used. There are so many ways to make these two units, that I simply never tried these rulers before.
Well, this afternoon, I pulled out some fabric for a swap block and realzed that I wasn't going to be able to use my prefered method-the QIAD method. My fabric was only 5" wide and I needed 5 1/2" squares. So I dug around to find the ruler and realized I could cut the pieces I needed from a 2 1/2" strip, so I cut the fabric into strips, cut my triangles using the ruler and not only did I have good looking quarter square triangles, the whole block is darn near 12 1/2"!
Maybe I should dig through my ruler box more often.
