I'm a visual person so this chart did more to explain the value of this ruler than any demonstration could have. Although I enjoyed watching the demonstration, this photo says it all for me. I left out the photos I took of Susan doing the demonstration because I think this chart is more than explanatory, don't you?
The quilt on the left is from Susan and Mary Jane's book Six Halves Makes A Whole Sampler and the one on the right is Six Halves Makes A Whole Lot More. I'm sorry about the easel in the foreground....somehow I just wasn't able to jump over the counter and move it....but you know I would have :)
This quilt is on the cover of Six Halves Makes A Whole Lot More. Here's more inspiration for using one or two of those great those great roll-ups of 6 half-yard cuts. Six new projects each using 6 half-yard cuts. There are instructions for five five quilts and a set of place mats included, plus extras.

Patterns for using the blocks for a table runner or tote are also included. Designed by Susan Knapp and Mary Jane Mattingly
