X-Block Rulers
Designed by Patricia Pepe for Quilt Queen Designs. These rulers are designed to be placed on top of a specific block, matching the seams of the block with the lines on the ruler.  Cut around the block, then sew your new blocks together for intricate looking designs. Note:  this method assumes generous 1/4" seams.  Do a test block first to check the alignment of your seams to the lines of the tool before starting your project. Patterns using this ruler can be found here: Quilt Queen X Block Patterns
