Tamarack Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 My friend Jenny designed a new quilting ruler for cutting curves that is just brilliant! I finished my first quilt using her ruler and the free pattern that comes with it. If you have never pieced curves this is the ruler to use to get over those fears. I may sound like a commercial here but I am so impressed (and proud of my friend) with it I just have to share. There are two things about the ruler that make it wonderful. First is that after you piece the curve you then use the ruler to trim down the block so your blocks are always accurate. The second thing is the design possibilities with this ruler are endless. You can check out Jenny's website and see all the patterns she has created too. http://sewkindofwonderful.bigcartel.com/ So is not only a talented designer she is an amazing longarm quilter too!! She has two blogs where she shares her work. Here is a picture of the quilt I just finished, I used all batik fabrics and the panto Curlz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerriVB Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have been so wanting to try this ruler and have been begging my LQS to carry--will have to try one more time with them and then I am going to get it myself. Great job and colors!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enchanted Quilting Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have used Jenny's ruler and made a small wall hanging. The way the curved pieces go together is awesome! I love your color selection and the quilt pattern you chose was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilted charm Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I went to Jenny's web site from your blog, and bought the ruler about a month ago. I used it to make her urban deco block, and loved it! I am at work, so I can't post it, but if you want to see it, I have it posted on my blog. She has so many different ways to use it, it's amazing.
