I have this ruler too! I bought it because it is meant to be a companion ruler to the popular Tri-Recs Set (what Doreen Speckmann used to call the "Peaky & Spike" units).<br /><br />It IS an odd shape that you don't see used often. It came in handy for me when I re-sized the "Montana" block in Eleanor Burns "Pioneer Sampler" -- it was the triangle around the center nine-patch. I also made note of Beth Ferrier's "Stasher's Delight" pattern (http://applewd.com/patterns/page15.html). I don't know how she makes hers but I think the block could be made with this ruler, the narrow Tri-Recs side triangle and a large center and small corner squares. <br /><br />I haven't tried using it this way yet but I'm hoping that placed on the fold it could make the wide diamond on the sides of "Storm At Sea" blocks, a future project for me. For now this one stays in my ruler stash!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-57768598472237958522012-07-19T19:41:17.996-05:002012-07-19T19:41:17.996-05:00Interesting ruler.
