These quilts are all incredible–thank you all for sharing. I think my favorite ruler is my 6 x 24″ because it is most versatile for cutting, no matter the width of fabric.
It’s always fun to see a quilt show!!! Thanks for fun from my lazy chair on this rainy day!! They were all wonderful!
I like my new 8-1/2″ x 24″ ruler. I can cut folded widths of fabric up to 8-1/2″ wide and many patterns call for widths wider than the old 6″ x 24″ rulers can handle.
Awesome projects.Congrats to all the quilters.My favorite ruler is my 8-1/2″x8-1/2″.Thanks for the show!
I love my 6″ ruler the most. It saves me so much time when I use it to square up HST and parts of my blocks so they all come out the correct size!
My fave ruler is the 6 by 24 inch– with a sixty-degree line for hexies and diamonds, of course!
I probably use my 6 1/2″ x 24 1/2″ ruler the most. But I do find my
6 1/2″ square one very useful.
6 1/2 x 24″ is my favorite – I also like my 12×12, my 15×15, 6×6….hmmm…I think I like them all :)
I love my 61/5″ ruler. It’s so convenient and handy.
The ruler I use most is 6″x24″. It’s great for cutting strips and more.
My favourite ruler is the 6″ x 6″. I use it for cutting small shapes and for sizing up small blocks after piecing them.
My 6 X 24 ruler is my favorite.
I use my 6.5 x 24 and 6.6 square most often.
I might use the 6″ by 24″ the most, but my favourite is the 6″ square. I can’t imagine not having it. I am often working on wee projects with tiny pieces and the larger ruler is over kill. Sort of like peeling potatoes with a butcher knife.
My favorite ruler is also my 6 1/2 x 24 1/2.
I love these quilts, I have not made an applique quilt yet!
6×24 is my favorite ruler. Love the quilts and all the work that goes into the applique.
I like my 6 x 12 ruler :)
My favorite size quilting ruler is my 6″ x 24″. I also like my 6″ square ruler.
I’ve already left a comment, but forgot to tell you my favorite ruler. My 6 x 24 in. ruler is used the most, but I also like my 2 1/2 in. binding ruler for cutting strips.
Mine is 3″ x 18″ I use it all the time because its nice and big.
Great quilts! I love to use my 6″ x 24″ ruler every time I use my rotary cutter because it fits the width of the material when I fold the material in half lengthwise.
It was hard to pick this week!
Fave ruler is my 6 x 12. Once WOF is cut I switch to the 6 x 12 because it’s easier to maneuver, yet still covers just about any subcuts to be made. That said, I’ve been using a 3.5 x 12 the past few days and it’s really nice to work with. AND I’m using it on blocks made with Good Morning charm packs! Also Twirl and Ticklish. Love all of the fabrics from Me and My Sister Designs!
My favorite size ruler is 3″ x 18″ but I also love all my rulers! I love this fabric it is so awesome! Thank you for the giveaway!
My favorite ruler is my 6′ one. I use it the most. I have loved all the quilts today…it was very hard to pick!! Great Job to all who participated.
My fav ruler is probably the 12″x4″ …great to travel with and take care of most cuts.
What beautiful quilts!
I would love to be entered in your give-away. I like a 6 x 24 inch ruler best.
I like my 3 x 18 ruler. :)
I use my 6.5 x 24.5 the most but I also like a 12.5 x 12.5 and my big 20.5 x 20.5. The little 6.5 x 6.5 is also good. With this set I think you cover all your needs.
My most used ruler was not made for quilting but is 2″x 18″ and speaks my language. (everything in town here is in centimeters)!
loved the quilts this week, what a lot of work in them!Always good to look at the quilts for different ideas and to see what other people like as well. I love my 6.5 inch square ruler best but couldn’t do without any of them really, they make quilting so much more enjoyable and accurate too!!
like this quilts. also my 6,5 inch
Gorgeous quilts this week, I use my 6.5 x 24″ ruler a lot for cutting strips off WOF.
thanks for the fab giveaway – my fav ruler is my 12 x 6 1/2 – its the one I use most often :)
My most used ruler is 3″ x 18″.
I LOVE my 3.5″ square ruler, it’s the one I use the most. ;)
Love my 12 1/2 square ruler as our group does a lot of 12 inch finished blocks for the quilts we make and this makes squaring up a cinch.
The quilts in the contest this week are wonderful. The ruler I like the most is my 12 1/2 inch ruler. It allows me to square up so many block sizes the larger one’s always the most fun to do!
6 x 24 is my favorite…Thanks for the fun~! Quilting is so much fun!!!!!!!!!
My favorite size of quilting ruler is 6 1/2 X 24 inches. I can cut really long fabric strips with my rotary cutter with it, as well as even off the selvedges of my fabrics before I cut out something, whether owl shapes for stuffed animals or squares for pieced quilts. It comes in really handy when making my strips of 4″ patch blocks even before I sew them together. I am happy that I bought it because it has saved me time.
Currently my favorite ruler is the 4″ x 14″ as I have been doing a lot of scrap cutting. Could not do without my 8-1/2″ x 24″ and the combination of both is a must for project cutting. Thanks from Judy C in NC
I have several rulers but I mostly use my 12-1/2″ square ruler because most of the blocks I make are to end up 12 inches. Thanks
I love my 6×12 Easy Star and Geese ruler….I use it everyday as my straightedge…I hold the small point with my left hand and use the straightedge instead of a longer ruler…gives me great stability!
BTW…I fold my fabric fold to selvedge!:)
I use my 6 x 24 ruler the most, however, I try and change the ruler to fit the project, so whichever ruler works best for what I am working on, is my current favorite!
Loved all the gorgeous quilts! My favorite ruler is actually a 4 x 14 because it’s easier to manipulate when cutting smaller pieces. Thanks!
Thanks everyone for sharing your applique quilts. I enjoyed them!
My favorite ruler is my 6 x 24 because of its versatility.
I have two rulers I use frequently; 16×60 cm and then 6×12″. That’s because I use both cm and inch. Thanks for this giveaway. Always inspiring to look at all the great quilts here, and difficult to choose a few of them.
I use my 6×24 the most. I have done several BOM and use a 1×6 alot for those little pieces BOMs seem to use!
Beautiful applique quilts, every one! I like my 3 X 24″ ruler the best because I can get a good hold on it when cutting and can easily read the markings on it.
!Son todos unos trabajos preciosos!!!
