Bonnie Hunter’s Essential Triangle Tool
A handy tool for making half-square and quarter-square triangles from strips.
Instead of starting with squares, the Essential Triangle Tool lets you cut accurate triangle units directly from fabric strips — especially useful when you’re working with lots of scraps.
A great fit for scrap quilting.
WHY I LIKE IT
I like this ruler because it works so well with the way I make scrap quilts. Rather than cutting a collection of precisely sized squares first, I can work from strips and turn them into the triangle units I need.
The markings make it easy to cut both half-square and quarter-square triangles in a variety of sizes, and the dog-eared corners help with alignment when it’s time to sew.
It’s particularly useful when you have lots of leftover strips waiting to become something.
Another good tool for turning what you already have into your next quilt.
