This is a great log cabin ruler by Marti Michell. Makes calculating and cutting those log cabin strips a breeze. Ruler is marked with both a letter and the actual length in inches for each strip, just the lines you need, so there's no distraction, no confusion, no unnecessary information. Finished strip widths are 2:1, so you can cut strips from both sides to make Off-center Log Cabin blocks.

Each ruler comes with instructions for cutting strips the correct width and chain piecing blocks. We think you'll be amazed at how much easier it is to piece Log Cabin blocks from exact-size strips.  The ruler above is shown close-up so you can see some of the great advantages. Cut strip lengths are shown in the ovals; this is also the unfinished block size if you stop adding strips at a particular point.

This ruler measures the triangle on the side because the finished side is the only measurement that is common to all shapes in this family. Other triangle rulers on the market measure the height of the triangle from the center of the bottom to the top point.  Not sure how to use it?

Diagonal Set Triangle Ruler  One multi-size ruler offers a no-math solution for cutting both the corner triangles and the larger setting triangles that are needed when patchwork blocks are set on point. Available in two sizes, each ruler is small enough to handle easily and large enough to get the job done.

The small ruler is perfect for small quilts, many border designs and even many square-in-a-square designs.Our rulers are marked in 1/2-inch increments by the finished block size. Because corner and setting triangles are often odd measurements, it is easier to use the ruler to measure and cut the strip than to try to find the exact place on a rotary cutting ruler.

• Order Large Diagonal Set Triangle Ruler for 6 to 16 inch finished blocks for $20.00.

My Favorite 6 1/2" Square Up Ruler
Gridded using the same symbols as our large rulers, but also with a shadow that follows every inch mark, turns a corner and connections, making it easy to see squares. There is one 45-degree diagonal line to help square up half-square triangle units. The last 1/4-inch is great for checking seam allowance.
