The Hex N More is a new ruler that I have developed. What makes this ruler special is that it can cut 4 shapes in 4 sizes!! The ruler comes with FULL COLOR instructions, including cutting and piecing diagrams, just like all Jaybird Quilts books & patterns. All of the pieces can be rotary cut from strips. Here’s a video tutorial on how to use the ruler. I currently have 17 Patterns & 4 Block of the Month Books that feature the Hex N More ruler! -- Where is it available? The ruler and patterns are available now. Check my Where to Buy page for availability or ask for Jaybird Quilts products at your local quilt shop. Where is it made? In the USA!

Full color instructions are included with each ruler. Below are links to step by step photo tutorials on how to cut each shape. You can also view the video above for more information.
