Use our ruler to cut from simple Strip Units to easily create these quilts with paddlewheels, pinwheels, octagons, and pieced stars. Then you had all the intricate work of lining up and sewing all those stretchy, bias angles (and somehow end up with all the blocks the same size). Strip units are so much easier!

You will be amazed that only one template is required to make these complex-looking blocks! The ruler has additional lines on it that allow you to cut strip units into unique shapes. In the past these shapes could only be made with separate templates for each little triangle.

When you sew them together, you can make some really fun blocks. If you look closely, you see the kaleidoscope triangles in the blocks below.

The triangles can be sewn into the octagon shape you see on the right, or you can add corner triangles to make the square blocks shown on the left.
This means lots of layout options! But, more importantly, I think breaking it down shows you how much simpler the blocks are to make than they look at first glance.
