Friday Give-Away – Two Rulers from June Tailor
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.

We quilters do love new toys. This looks like a very good one, can’t wait to give it a try. Hope I win one otherwise I’ll be waiting on Santa.
Those look great! I’m all for making HST’s easier.
That looks wonderful. Thanks for the opportunity

I’m not usually one to purchase all the new rulers that are sold, but this one looks fabulous. I use the June Tailor strip cutters. I have a project with HST planned. Would love to have this ruler in my sewing room to break in this project. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
What a neat ruler! Please enter me in the contest!
One can never have too many toys and gadgets! Rulers sure make the joy of quilting even that much more fun! Thank you for these Friday give-a-ways!
I love these rulers!

What a great tool! My mom has a similar one for strip cutting. This would definitely help make my imperfect squares more square.
This is the answer to my triangle problems. Wow, I would love to win these rulers. Carolyn

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. :)

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.

I love June Tailor’s products! I own the shape cut ruler, and I use it ALL the time!! This would be a great addition to my collection.
I’ve gotta have these!
I’ve made several items from Studio Kat Designs. Instructions are so clear. You can’t mess up!

It has been awhile since I bought any new rulers.. these would be great!
OOOH do I need these!. I have a large Junne Taylor that cuts strips and I love it and use it a lot. These would be the perfect companions.
I love this! I regularly use the June Tailor Shape cut pro for cutting strips (it’s fantastic!). I’d like to know where I can buy one of these if I don’t win one.
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 :)

Wow, what a cool ruler! I’d love that to square up my blocks!

Oh what a fantastic tool – it really would help me a lot to sew that tricky half square triangles – so come to me over the great pond to Austria.
Nice ruler! I’d love to win it!

I hope I win! I saw the YouTube video a couple of weeks ago, but I haven’t seen these in my LQS yet.
.-= Robin Collett’s latest post: The design bed strikes again =-.
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
These rulers look wonderful! I have a hard time making perfect half squares and even full squares that matter, these would help.
Thanks.

What a fabulous tool! thank you for offering!

This would be PERFECT to make my way to the top of the “favourite friend” list….I now have a fantastic gift idea for my quilty buddy who is impossible to buy for (and then she would have to make me coffee and muffins every morning as a way to repay me…I teach her kids so it would be only fair anyway!)
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.

I’ve never tried these, so they would be nice.
I need all the help I can get in my cutting! My accuracy isn’t the best. :(
