Taylor’s Quilt By: Jana Anderson, Wyoming, USA Found this quilt pattern at Acorn Quilt and Gift Company and knew it would be perfect for my newest grandson since the different outfits reminded me of how I dressed his daddy when he was little.

Love looking at all the wonderful quilts, hard to choose just one!
I love the 8.5×23 inch ruler. Thank you for the chance
I have a ruler that is 5″ x 26″ and I use it the most, it is also one of my oldest rulers
My standard ruler that I love for cutting large pieces is my 6″ x 24″ ruler. It has been getting quite the workout lately :)
The Applique quilts Are Awesome! There are so many talented quilters. I have only finished one applique queen size quilt.
Only one size! I have so many rulers. I will have to say my 6×24 and my 12.5×12.5
6″X24″ – couldn’t live without it.
Thanks!
My favorite ruler is 6″ x 24″. It’s the first ruler I bought when learning to use a rotary cutter 30+ years ago. It easily measures a folded width of fabric , and I guess that’s why I reach for it first
My go-to is my 6×24″. i usually start with this and then work down from there……. thanks for sharing
bonnielarson58@gmail.com
Love the versatility of the 12 1/2″ square!
My 6″x24″ is my favorite because I can make long straight cuts. My next favorite is my 9.5″x9.5″ square – I use it most to square up my blocks.
I would like to have a 6″x24″ one, mine is just 12″ and way too short for long cuts, but it’s on my birthday wishlist ;)
And I had to vote for Flora and Fauna. I love Karen’s work, she’s an amazing applique and embroidery artist!
I have 2 favorite rulers, a 6 by 12 and 12″square that are always at my finger tips.
Great give away….. My fav size ruler is 6×12….. Cannot cut and quilt without it. Very handy and great for variety of uses :-)
My 6×24″ Clear ruler. I like the kind that I can easily see through.
6 x 24 is my favorite ruler. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wonderful quilts… So much personality. I really enjoy voting each week!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
My favourite ruler is my 6.5″ x 12″ Amazing quilts – the first one I ever bought. Truly inspiring.
I like my 6 x 24 inch ruler the best!
I love the shape cut ruler pro – it cuts 2.5″ strips, so I make my own strip sets and charms too.
HI! LIKE MY 12″ SQUARE RULE BEST!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
My favorite ruler is my Sharon Hultgren 6.5 x 24.5. It has black numbers on it which is easier for me to read when measuring my fabric to cut.
My favorite is 8 1/2 x 24 made by omnigrid. I always feel I have more control when using it. Great when doing larger cuts and not having to use the lines on my mat.
The one I use the most is my 6×24 Omnigrid. I have others that are very useful but that is the one that I would choose if I could just have one!
Favorite ruler is 6 1/2 by 12.
Lovely quilts – I could have used a couple more votes! :) My favorite ruler is my 6.5 x 24 from Creative Grids – it’s got all the measurements I need, some grippy spots on the back built in and a rotary blade sharpener down the cutting edge…
thanks for the chance to win such pretty fabric!
I love Creative Grid rulers and probably use the 6-1/2 x 24 1/2 size the most but also love the 12 1/2 square.
I like my 8.5 x 24 ruler the best.
I use my 61/2″ square and my 81/2 x24″ruler the most I also like my big square rulers.Hard to really choose just one that I like the best. Lovely quilts this week.
I always grab the 6″ by 18″ ruler.
I use my 6″ x 24″ ruler the most. It seems to be the most versatile for me.
I like my 5″ x 24″ ruler. It’s a good size for cutting longer lengths of fabric, but it’s small enough to maneuver for cutting smaller pieces. Thanks for this fun contest every week. I love looking at everyone’s creations.
June Taylor 6×24 is the one I use most often. But my Fave is the Creative Grids Square up ruler. It locks in place on the diagonal seams. Its also great for cutting squares for making my own layer cake sizes or charm.
I like my 4×14″ ruller the best.
It is handy to take when I want to quilt on the go!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hugs.
I have to say the one I use the most is the 6″ x 24″ – I have worn the edges and grid off one already and I am working on the second!
Thank you, Bear Hollow Quilts & Such, for the chance to wins such great prizes! I use my 6 x 24 inch ruler the most.
6 x 24! Thank you for a chance to win!
The ruler I use the most is the 6″ x 24″ … this is the first ruler I bought when I started quilting many, may years ago. So it’s usually the first ruler I grab.
6 x 24 – it’s the most versatile. Of course, I have “few” other sizes too.
Love my 61/2″ square, the corners are worn out so really need a new one..
I love my 8.5 x 24 inch ruler. Great for wide borders. However, I like most of my ruilers. Each serves a purpose. I am very fond of my Eleanor Burns flying geese rulers. I have made gees many different ways and so far, for me, this is the best method for making geese.
I love all my rulers thanks
6″ squaare by Omnigrid. I use them so often that I’ve worn the marking lines off of three of them. No markings makes them Gwen Marston rulers I guess!
My favorite ruler overall is the 6 X 12. It gives me more control and is easier to pack around when I need to go somewhere else to quilt. Thanks for the chance to enter.
I use my 6 x 24 inch ruler the most, but for trimming small pieced blocks I like my 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inc..
My favourite is 6×12 but I would love a 6×24 inch for those bigger pieces of fabric and for squaring up quilts.
I seem to use my 12 1/2 inch square for a lot of cutting. So adaptable. Love it!
I love my 12 1/2″ square ruler and also my 6″ square. I can use them for cutting and also for squaring up blocks.
My favorite ruler is 6in x 24in.
Hard to choose just one but I would say my 12.5″ square. I love it because you can use it for cutting and squaring up but mostly because its the only one I have in fluoro green and its so much easier to see the lines on almost every colour. From now on all the rulers I buy will be this colour!
