I demonstrated the Creative Grids® Square on Square rulers at the Road to California show and they loved them!

Why does everyone LOVE this tool? For the same reason, they love the entire line of Jean Ann Wright’s trim tools. All of these tools solve the problems quilters face when piecing blocks that start with a center square. These blocks tend to become skewed because of cutting inconsistencies; variations in seam allowances; and distortions while pressing.
The triangles are cut slightly larger and trimmed to size AFTER cutting, sewing and pressing – and the end result is spectacular!
Check out this new Spinning Snails pattern by Lynn Roddy Brown. Yes – this is the first tool designed to create the Snail’s Trail block. It is simply the color placement of the triangles. And don’t you love the scrappy look and the rail fence border???

Sunflower Trails creates movement by piecing the Snail’s Trails blocks out of just three colors.

Item #CLPJAW041
But this tool is named Square on Square for a reason! Don’t forget that the traditional blocks make striking quilts as well.
Item #CLPJAW039
Look what happens when you piece a block and center it in a square on square.

The additional bells and whistles make this a must have:
1. The cutting instructions are printed right on the tool. (The outside edge of the block is always on the straight of grain.)
2. Create a 4″ block by stopping after two triangles or complete an 8″ block by adding four rounds of triangles.
3. Use the squares on the ruler to piece or fussy cut a 2″ or 4″ finished square.
These added features expand the design potential exponentially! Why not give it a try? It also comes in a six-inch version. (Item #CGRJAW7). Whichever size you choose, you will be happy with the result!
