Creative Grids 60° Diamond Ruler
Use this ruler when a quilt repeats 60° diamonds or combines several shapes cut from strips.
What this tool is for
Use this ruler when a quilt repeats 60° diamonds or combines several shapes cut from strips. Its marked layout also covers triangles, hexagons, parallelograms and trapezoids. Compare it with a plain 60° triangle ruler if triangles are the only piece you need. A guide dedicated to a single shape can be easier to read during a long run of identical cuts.

Fit and buying advice
The ruler body is approximately 9¾ × 16½ inches. Creative Grids describes cuts up to 8½ inches for the design. Look at the specific shape and the markings required in the maker’s directions before you cut strips for the whole project. The ruler’s footprint and the finished size of a sewn shape are separate measurements.
Questions about this tool
Is it the same layout as a 45° diamond ruler?
The angle determines the diamond geometry. Choose the ruler that matches the angle in the pattern.
When does the Mini make more sense?
Compare it if you work mostly from narrow strips and smaller shapes. Use the larger ruler when the project exceeds the Mini’s marked range.
Do I need a wide mat for the full-size ruler?
Check that you can support the ruler body and the strip at the same time, then leave enough room for your blade to clear the end of the fabric.
