With this ruler, you can both cut 2.5'' strips AND cut your trapezoids needed to build a quilt braid (or Herringbone) pattern. You will create a 5'' Trapezoid using this ruler and we love it, because it saves you a lot of time and fumbling with several different rulers!
1.Cut your 2.5'' strip!
Repeat this process again 2 or 3 times to get different coordinating fabrics to fit together. We used 2 different fabrics to create one braid to model for you.
Lastly, we will show you how to layout your pieces to create this braid design, then leave the quilting piecing up to you for whatever project you are working on!
