Square Deal

This pattern for a quilt of illusion was designed as a class to teach some of the options of the Square-in-a-square ruler.  However, the pattern does give alternative instructions using a 6 1/2" square ruler.  It finishes to approximately 38" x 42.

If you have never used one, the Square in a Square ruler is an amazingly versatile ruler, used for making a variety of blocks. Complete and detailed instructions are included with the ruler and I have made a video showing the ruler in use as well.
