The Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool Two (CGRJAW2) expands your creative flexibility by providing dedicated layout markings to build and square up both 6-inch and 12-inch finished blocks on the same ruler. Designed by popular quilting author Jean Ann Wright, this premium acrylic template completely prevents block distortion by squaring up each round of fabric strips as you piece, ensuring clean corners and highly consistent seam alignments across your entire design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePatented Non-Slip Grip Texture:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature embedded frosted gripper channels on the underside allow the template to slide smoothly over fabric until light cutting pressure is applied, locking down firmly to eliminate dangerous ruler slips and costly miscuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDual Finished Size Engineering:\u003c\/b\u003e Built-in multi-stage markings give you the power to construct small 6-inch finished blocks or complete massive 12-inch finished blocks seamlessly using one tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThree Traditional Quilt Profiles:\u003c\/b\u003e Features explicit registration lines to align and cleanly trim traditional Log Cabin blocks, Half Log Cabin layouts, and balanced Courthouse Steps blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIncremental Seam Square Up:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed with progressive centering squares that register directly over your central starting patch, slicing away minor stitching drift and fabric stretching at the completion of every single round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePermanent On-Template Instructions:\u003c\/b\u003e Precise fabric cutting dimensions for the foundation center squares and the necessary strip widths are permanently laser-etched onto the acrylic surface for instant reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHigh-Contrast Sightlines:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold black and white lines combined with white circled step indicators ensure clear readability over dark batiks, bright modern prints, and light background fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhy Quilters Love This Tool\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThe primary challenge when constructing log cabin blocks is bias stretching, causing the fabric to warp and the blocks to grow unevenly as outer layers are added. The CGRJAW2 completely stops this compounding error. By securing the block under the non-slip workspace and rotary cutting the outer raw edges after every round, any slight sewing drift is instantly sliced away. This takes the stress out of handling delicate strips, saves hours of alignment checking, and leaves your finished blocks perfectly square, uniform, and ready for continuous sashing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMulti-Scale Fabric Designers:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for creating dynamic quilts that alternate miniature 6-inch blocks and expansive 12-inch blocks to generate structural depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eScrap and Stash Collectors:\u003c\/b\u003e An exceptional asset for converting continuous strip piles, remnants, and pre-cut jelly rolls into highly uniform patchwork configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQuilters of All Skill Levels:\u003c\/b\u003e Simplifies advanced block geometric balancing so beginners can bypass paper-piecing, while helping production sewers maximize continuous chain-stitching speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003eCreative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool Two Acrylic Ruler (CGRJAW2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eFully illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet outlining cutting layouts and multi-size round maps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGRJAW2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaximum Raw Footprint:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.5 inches by 12.5 inches square\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinished Block Capabilities:\u003c\/b\u003e Trims to exact 6-inch or 12-inch finished dimensions (adds 1\/2-inch margins for raw seam allowances)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty, industrial-grade premium laser-cut acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Ann Wright\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCan this single tool build a block that mixes both sizes?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,1\"\u003eThis tool is designed to create separate 6-inch finished blocks or 12-inch finished blocks.
