Friday Give-Away – Two Rulers from June Tailor
June 26th, 2009
Congratulations to #80 Holly – Fabric Mom for winning a pair of 8″ fabric shears in last week’s Friday Give-Away donated by the Simplicity Creative Group.
This week’s Friday Give-Away is two rulers to create perfect half-square and quarter-square triangles by June Tailor.
If you’ve ever used the Shape Cut rulers, the concept is similar. This is a new product released at Spring Market.
I had the pleasure of meeting Katy from June Tailor at Market. Their booth was across the aisle from mine. Here’s a photo of their gorgeous booth and some of their new products.
Creating half-square and quarter-square triangle quilt blocks has never been easier. This all-in-one-tool allows you to mark stitching lines, cut sewn squares in half and square up finished blocks. Perfect half and quarter-square triangle blocks every time.
Perfect Half-Square & Quarter-Square Triangles Ruler
Features:
- Constructed of durable, crystal-clear PETG.
- Permanent ruler markings are easy to read and will not chip or wear off.
- 1/16″ Marking slots allow for the use of a variety of different marking tools.
- Teardrop shapes at the ends of all cutting slots allow for easy rotary cutter placement and complete cutting to the edges of fabric.
- Use to create squared blocks from 2-1/2″ to 6-1/2″ in one inch increments.
- Complete detailed instructions included with ruler.
Using the Perfect Half-Square & Quarter-Square Triangles Ruler
To enter the give-away, just leave a comment below no later than Thursday, July 2, 2009. Two lucky winners will be chosen to win this great tool. Thanks to June Tailor for the donation.

I love these rulers! It seems that I can never find the right ruler when I am working on a quilt. I love the site too. Get lots of good information here. Thanks!
Me again entering! Would love to have this ruler. I actually haven’t ever seen this one before.
Oh, the accuracy and consistency I could achieve! Isn’t it amazing how clever some people are – at least I’m now in it to (hopefully) win it!
Alrghty! It’s Friday again. Maybe this time I’ll win…grin. I could sure use these rulers.
Thanks for having the giveaways.

Would love to have this ruler!
This looks great. I’m going to have my fingers crossed for a week!
Any help with rulers is welcomed…..I would love to be picked for this prize, thank you
wow, that ruler would be perfect as I plan to make a hourglass quilt from my scraps
What a fabulous gift. I hope I’m lucky enough to win.
that looks very cool! I might even try to cut triangles if I won that! :D
I’ve used the shapecut tool and like it, these look like the same technique, could be very useful.
thanks for the chance to win
I am newer to quilting and this looks great to help me make perfect squares every time. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Wow! Those rulers are great! I have the original Shapecut ruler and love it! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
What a great idea for a ruler. Makes cutting very accurate.

Those rulers looks fantastic, if I am not lucky enough to win I need to buy those.
I hate it when my half square triangles are wonky. This product looks like it will really help me be accurate.
Do you know, one great thing about these rulers is that they have a hole in them so you can thread a brrrrrright piece of ribbon. The brighter the better, and the longer the better so I can find it when it gets buried, the tail is more often than not still visible. I have a 6 1/2″ square and that is deadly because it has no hole and well, does your work surface look like mine? ….6 1/2″ square gets swollowed up pretty easily. I now have several of the little guys and usually one can be found.
Regardless, rulers, squares, triangles, a good measurement is essential for a beautiful finished product.

I had not seen these rulers. They are very clever!
It is all in having the right tools for the job! Thanks for the chance to win.
I saw this recommended by JudyL at Patchwork Times (gee, wonder where she saw it?) It looks like it would really save time and I love all the things you can do with HST, but hate all the squaring-up.
Leslie’s latest post: OK, I was bad…
These are awesome, I have always wanted to try rulers like this. I am newly addicted to quilting and would love to really get good at triangles! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
I did one of Judy L’s Quilt For An Hour projects and being a novice quilter now have a box of half and quarter square triangles that don’t make a quilt because they were so OFF! I would love to try these rulers.
I’ve been looking at these and I’d love to add them to my arsenal – thanks for entering me!
I seem to be a ruleraholic. I’d love to add this to my collection as they all make quilting so much easier.
Interesting idea…would love to win and try it! Thanks for the chance.

I’ve seen these! I want one SO bad!!

My friends have a June Taylor ruler and keep on insisting that I get one too! I have never tried one out yet but am willing to give these rulers a try.
I would like to try this ruler out. Always looking for ways to improve the quilting process.
love them!
Anything to make my half square triangles come out straight would be great! Hope I win!
Great! I’m starting to collect proper tools for quilting and what a difference they make. They are worth every penny for the results. Thanks for a chance to win.
This is the first time I’ve seen this ruler. What a wonderful tool! It takes the guesswork out of half square and quarter square triangle blocks.
Gotta say, these rulers look verrrry cool!

what a great idea! this would come in so handy for my current scrap quilt – I have several June Tailor rulers and they really speed up my cutting time. Hope I win 8-D
This is the first Friday I’ve been on the computer since the Friday giveaway’s began. I always thought you had to enter on Friday – silly me! I’ll always check the details now that I see there is a longer time frame for entering.
I’ll enter now – this ruler looks really interesting! A lot of the patterns I look at use 1/2 sq. triangles and any thing that makes it easier is a blessing.
The ruler looks great. I have the shape cut and I love it.
I’m in the midst of a half square triangle border and would LOVE this ruler!

I have the circle cut ruler like these (also from June Taylor) but I don’t have these ones. They look really cool and I’m sure they would be a great addition to my collection.
I definitely need these. I’m making a quilted cozy for my mother-in-law’s artificial hip.

I use a whole inch more when make the quarter square triangles to compensate for the 2 seams taken as they are constructed. This looks like a great ruler to trim the squares off evenly.

Love your blog and the pictures of quilts, fabrics and gotta-have quilting tools are wonderful. The June Tailor triangle rulers intrique me. Love anything that makes that “chore” easier and with better results. Thanks for having such a wonderful blog AND for your give-aways. Hope I’m a lucky recipient of one of these rulers, I can use all the help I can get. :)
Have a great day – Terri at the Drake’s Nest in rainey Ossineke, Michigan
Since I have four patch posieitis this could be just part of the treatment. I could make more tops and cut those stacked repeats into perfectly cut segments like you do in Kaleidescope Quickies and keep making tops until my blade wears out! Unless somone knows of a cure.

Oh I really need that ruler. I am making a lot of blocks now and this ruler would help me out cutting them in the right size. So please pick me :)

I think these would be great to use for the scrap quilts that I love and have in planning stages. The squaring up would be almost guaranteed and somwhat more interesting than twisting and slicing.—Great looking product–thanks—Sue

Thanks.

It’s wonderful to see the amazing variety of notions available to quilters. It is sometimes difficult to choose, after all you can’t have everything! The information provided regarding the rulers helps in making the best choice! Thanks for the give away opportunity.
