Kimberbell - Orange Pop Tips

Orange Pop are phenomenal rulers, with extended corner channels, make squaring up quilt blocks simple and accurate.  
Orange Pop rulers come in two sets: square and rectangle

Square Set

1. Bonus ruler: Half-square triangle ruler with two different sizes in one ruler

2. Three square, nesting rulers.

Rectangle Set

1. Flying Geese ruler, two sizes

2. Tumbler block -- with corners already cut off, so you're ready to seam

3. 1/4" inch ruler, great for lots of things, including centering the other rulers

4.Three nesting rectangular rulers

Nested rulers give you more gripping when you use all three.  You can use all three, no matter how small or large your block is going to be.  Extended corner channels are great for rotary cutting. Use the rulers left or right-handed, in the same way.

Bonus: When binding a quilt, line align the quarter inch ruler with the 1/4" from the bottom of your quilt, then tip the little ruler and rub it  against the spot.  It will mark your stopping point for you!
