Hello! My name is Daniela Stout and I am thrilled to be part of this month long cutting event with Moda. I own Cozy Quilt Shop (which is outside San Diego, CA) and Cozy Quilt Designs (a pattern, book and ruler publishing company.) And I love strips! Today I want to show you the most brilliantly simple invention that makes quick work of strips, turning them into gorgeous blocks in no time at all.
We call it the Strip Tube Ruler and my mom made me do it.
Quick sidebar: It’s true… my mom made me do this. When we started writing patterns for 2½” strips we used this tube technique with a square up ruler. Then one day my mom (and then primary sample maker) said we should create a ruler to make it easier. Naturally, I ignored her. (Just like your kid, huh?) But then a customer said the same thing! Then my husband made us a prototype, found a company here in the States to make it, and a best-selling item was born.
And if you don’t mind a shameless plug.. this mom of mine is Georgette Dell’Orco and she is way talented in her own right, creating some of our best-selling patterns. She even digitizes quilting patterns for the terrific computerized quilting machines out there. Check her out at QuiltersNiche.com
Now.. back to the ruler. How does it work, you ask? It’s easy.. .and sooo versatile! Today, I am going to quickly show you just one way to use it.
First. Sew two 2½” print strips together (a “print strip” is a strip from a bundle like a Jelly Roll). Press the seam in one direction. Next sew a print strip to a 2½” background strip to make another set. Again, press in one direction, preferably to the dark.
Place the two sets right sides together and sew a tube by stitching a ¼” seam on the top and a ¼” seam on the bottom. A tube? Yes. Trust the process. 🙂
Now pull the triangle away from your tube and open to reveal a diagonally pieced square that measures 5½” square. BRILLIANT!

I love the Lotus Blossom & the Festivities. I already have the Tradewinds pattern. Thanks for this opportunity to maybe win.
I have Paper Lanterns which makes a lovely quilt in Japanese fabrics – that is my favourite pattern.
I’m glad your mum made you make the ruler.
Sure wished I had one a couple of months ago as I made a quilt like this with a square ruler and messed up on a couple of cuts. And all the photos you showed looks like I have another quilt or two to add to the want-to-make list
I love my Strip Tube ruler ! X Factor is my favorite pattern so far. 🙂 I am making one now!
I am new to your designs but I really like the “Daniela” block – it looks like spools of thread! I’d love to win this ruler and use up some of my strips!!
Very clever! Love Tradewinds and Multifaceted. I own several of your patterns. Yesterday I pulled out all of my Christmas fabric which meant moving a bunch of stuff away from in front of the cabinet…now I can’t reach my patterns so I can’t tell you the names! Does anyone else play the sliding boxes game in their sewing room? I’d love to try this technique. Thanks for the chance to win this fun ruler.
I love the. Pattern “Transitions”! What a handy ruler!
I forgot to tell you, my favorite pattern is hanging gardens!

I love all the patterns. I helped my mom create one of these quilts out of scraps. She has dementia and it was an easy step by step process for her.
All of the patterns are beautiful! The Parallel Universe is my favorite, it’s out of this world! The rulers are great. They will make a tedious job so much easier. Thanks for being so talented!
So many possibilities for a favorite! How about X-Factor. I enjoy your videos…they make me wish I lived near San Diego! It looks like you have a lot of fun! Keep up the great work!
I use a lot jelly rolls in my quilts. What a time saver this would be and so accurate. I want this. Thank you!

What a great post with very good information. Thank you so much. In looking at the patterns shown here in the post, I really LOVE “Paradise Found” a lot. That would definitely be my favorite.
The first time I had heard of the Strip Tube is on Connie’s blog. She does quite a few beautiful quilt projects using the Strip Tube. I think my favorite of hers is Neopolitan Dreamin. It’s such a beautiful quilt and layout. She does a great job showing how to create quilts and projects too using the Strip Tube.

This ruler is magic. It is the first time I have seen it. I love the blocks that it can create.

I’ve used Multifaceted. It was a great pattern! I love all of the designs Cozy has. Having the ruler would be wonderful!
Oh, so you’re the one…I went to your website and notice that I do indeed have many of your patterns. Yes, I’m getting old or I can get away with saying its that my pattern stash is as huge as my fabric stash. I do like “Up Square Down Square”.
Lotus Blossom is my favorite. I can just see it as the quilt in my guest room. Also, if I win, this would be a perfect project to take on retreat which is coming up fast .
I would love to try “multifaceted” as it looks like something my son would ‘approve’ of for his house!
Great idea, I love the Tradewinds pattern

Transitions catches my eye the most. I would love to try this ruler!
It put me as unknown, eventhough I signed in with my Google account.

I love intertwined. What a great idea. I’d love to try this ruler.
Like the looks of Timber for a holiday quilt!
They are all lovely but Paradise found is my favorite.
Can’t make up my mind between Transitions and Parallel Universe, so I just might have to make both!
Um
Um
Um
Tradewinds (of those pictured)
Wow – this is very fun to learn about. I love the look of Parallel Universe, but there are several that call to me. Thanks for explaining how your ruler works!
Oh my gosh, to have to pick just one. I guess I would say Transitions is one of my favorites. Thanks for the chance to win this great ruler
Trade winds for sure! I watched someone make it at a retreat several years ago and still think I need to get the pattern and make it – I had no idea it was easier with a special ruler!
Oooo, it has to be Transitions. That one is really great!
I really think all the patterns are great. I especially like Tradewinds.
Oh, I have wanted to get this ruler for so long! Thanks for the chance to win one!

I have this ruler and it is great, but I didn’t think I realized the wide variety of possibilities in design until I saw all the photos of your patterns. So great!
THEY ARE ALL SO GREAT, BUT MY FAVORITE IS STILL TRADWINDS.
THANKS
