The Multi-Patch Quilt Rulers take a totally different approach and are simple to use. They are designed to create accurate Square, Rectangle, Half Square Triangle, Quarter Square Triangle and Square on Point Patches for specific size finished blocks. The marking on the rulers are based on patch counts and because of this new approach you can look at a picture of a block and simply make it without having a pattern or any instructions and best of all you can make the block the size that would work best in your quilt.

The ‘’Zero Math Quilt Rulers’’ come in 5 finished block sizes (6’’, 8’’, 9’’, 10’’ & 12’’).
Each ruler has 3 cutting edges.
1) A Square Cutting Edge labeled in black used to cut Square and Rectangular Patches.
2) A Half Square Triangle Cutting Edge labeled in green used to cut Half Square Triangle Patches.
3) A Quarter Square Triangle Cutting Edge labeled in red used to cut Quarter Square Triangle Patches.
There are only 3 things you need to know to be able to use the Zero Math Quilting Rulers:
1) What size you want your finished block to be? You can resize or scale the block to your project. For example you can easily make a 9 patch pattern fit either an 8” or a 10” finished block. Simply select the appropriate finished block ruler for the project.
2) What type patch you want to make because the patch type (Square, Half Square Rectangle, Half Square Triangle and Quarter Square Triangle) determines the cutting edge to use on the zero math quilting rulers?
See Patch Types
Note: The long edge of a half square triangle patch is never parallel with the side of the block.
The long edge of a quarter square triangle patch is always parallel with the side of the block.
3) How many patches it would take to go either across or down the block for that specific patch (what portion of the block does that specific patch span)? See How to Count Patches
Square on Point Quilt Ruler Instructions
See Quilt Ruler Layouts
The Square on Point Quilting Ruler was designed to accurately create multiple size Square on Point Patches (Square in a Square) for 5 finished blocks sizes (6’’, 8’’, 9’’, 10’’ and 12’’) without wasting any fabric. All Square on Point patches are cut on the straight of grain. Patches surrounding the Square on Point patch (square in a square) are created with the Zero Math Quilting Rulers. All ¼ ’’ seam allowances are built into the lines on the Square on Point Quilting Ruler.
There are only 2 things you need to know to be able to use the Square on Point Quilting Ruler:
1) What size you want your finished block to be? Simply select the appropriate cutting edge for that finished block size.
2) How many square on point patches it would take to go either across or down the block (what portion of the block does that square on point patch span)? See How to Count Patches
Your sewing method does not change, but the accuracy of the quilt patches and quilt blocks you assemble sure does.
