Westalee Adjustable Quilting Rulers
will enable you to cut 90% of traditional quilt blocks with accuracy every time. The last cut will be the same as the first cut, every time!
Simply set the desired strip width, lock the guide and cut.
  • No more maths, it also works like a calculator to take some of the hard sums out of the equation. No more "measure twice, cut once" rule, now you can "measure once, cut a thousand times".
  • Enables cutting of strips, squares, rectangles, diamonds, bias strips, sashing and borders, quickly and with accuracy.
  • Westalee offers a range of straight and triangle rulers in a range of sizes. Made of clear Perspex the adjustable rulers also offer "fussy cutting".
  • A black, locking fabric guide is attached to each ruler with two easily adjustable screws enabling the quilter to quickly and easily set the desired size of the shape.
  • A pair of Thumb Screws are available to assist those quilters who prefer not to use a screw driver. (These are offered FREE with some items.)
  • The adjustable triangle range enables accurate cutting of setting triangles for diagonal set quilts, half square triangles and quarter square triangles for blocks.
  • Rulers are marked with guide lines at 1/4" increments, allowing easy measurement of the final block or strip size including the seam allowance.
  • All rulers have been designed to give the finished size of the shape and all seam allowances are included.
  • No, the beginner or average quilter doesn't need the whole range, but some quilters will want and need each one. So, I've suggested a "Starter's Kit" of the three most basic tools you will require for everyday quilting. A beginner would need the 18" Adjustable Ruler, the Half Square Triangle and the Quarter Square Triangle. Refer to the products available.
We congratulate Leonie West, the inventor of the Adjustable Ruler Range, who was inspired by her own frustrations as a quilter, so with the help of her husband Bill, she has designed a range of quilting rulers to help every quilter from the novice to the more experienced, achieve accuracy with speed and lessen the workload of tedious tasks and maths.

Exploring the Double Wedding Ring by Leonie West
Leonie West has gathered together 38 Block and Quilt ideas using different tools from each of the 4 sets in her Double Wedding Ring range of products and now shares her ideas with us in her book "Exploring the Double Wedding Ring".
Double Wedding Ring is certainly an old time favourite block amongst quilters, yet it is one that many avoid making.  Westalee Design Rulers have not only made this block so much easier to construct but so very versatile with numerous variations.
There are 4 sets in the series: Set 1 is essential and may be used on its own to make the traditional Double Wedding Ring.  Sets 2, 3 & 4 include many variations but all require to use Set 1 as well.
