Gain confidence with angles and color placement, plan out curated flower shades, or use scraps from your stash for an eclectic look! Dancing Dahlias will give you a complicated look without tedious piecing. It is constructed of two main blocks, the flower blocks, and the leaf blocks, with side setting units that make construction a breeze with no Y seams. Each block illustrates a different technique using the Creative Grids® 60-Degree TINY Diamond Ruler.
This table runner by Krista Moser from Cut Loose Prres™ is the perfect choice for the summer holidays. Construction is simple – there are no Y-seams. But since the design is created with a combination of triangles, trapezoids, and half-triangles, it is a great way to learn how to use the ruler. The star field on opposite corners makes the finished project read “right side up” on either side of the table.
Use this 60 Degree Tiny Diamond Ruler to cut diamonds, hexagons, triangles, and 120 degree side-setting triangles up to 3-1/2 inches. It includes all of the features of Krista’s other diamond tools.
The Creative Grids® ruler and Cut Loose Press™ pattern are in stock now. The Dancing Dahlias pattern will be available later this month.

Krista Moser, the brilliant designer from The Quilted Life, has designed a Scalloped Tool with Creative Grids®. This baby is a game-changer!
Just look how adding a gently scalloped border to a panel turns it into a work of art!
This quick, easy, but impressive baby quilt can be completed in just a matter of hours. The Cut Loose Press™ Simple Scallop Baby Quilt pattern #CLPKMS009 shows how to turn a standard 24″ x 40″ panel into a stunning quilt. Would you like to add this border treatment to a different sized panel or quilt? Not a problem! This pattern focuses on the technique of creating scalloped borders the no-math way with the Creative Grids® Scalloped Template.
Are you a visual learner? Again, we have you covered! The pattern includes a link to a video tutorial that shows exactly how Krista created the quilt shown. And, since you just need a panel plus 3/4 yard of two different fabrics to complete the quilt, it is oh sew affordably.
But let’s talk more about the tool…
Add that awe factor to any quilt by creating a scalloped border. The tool includes three sizes of scallops plus a corner unit. The small size is perfect for borders that are 2 to 5 inches in width. The medium scallop is ideal for 4 to 8-inch borders. And the large scallop works for borders up to 12 inches. That’s right – you can now add borders up to 12″ wide guilt-free because they are now a design element!
Since you are creating this design element with paper templates, they can be spaced or overlapped as needed to fit any length of the border. Don’t you love built-in fudge factors? Hint: Design and mark the border before quilting so the scallop element can be showcased with quilting (and the machine quilter can attach straight sides to her frame). Then use the tool to trim the curves and bind with a bias binding.
What a great class or demo choice – and both are in stock now!
