THE COMPLETE KIT + STORAGE

This is the complete quilter's cutting workflow in a single bundle — from the first fabric strip to the finished, squared block stored flat and ready for assembly. The Complete Kit + Storage adds the Madam Sew Red Project Bag to the full cutting kit, giving you a dedicated home for every block you square up.

The 6" × 24" ruler handles strip and WOF cutting. The 12.5" Square-Up Ruler squares finished blocks to every popular size with the ¼" seam allowance built in. The 45mm Rotary Cutter trims with both rulers in one clean pass. And the Project Bag — with its large 16" × 16" clear-mesh back pocket — is exactly what the product team designed it for: storing flat cut and finished quilt blocks neatly, visibly, and safely between sessions.

Every tool is at the cutting table. Every block has a place to live. Nothing gets lost, wrinkled, or out of order.

Why You'll Love It

• The Project Bag Was Designed for Exactly This — The large 16" × 16" back pocket of the Madam Sew Project Bag was created to hold finished quilt blocks flat for storage between sessions. Squared blocks go straight from the cutting mat into the bag — organised by colour, pattern, or project sequence — and stay perfectly flat until you're ready to assemble.
• See Your Blocks Without Opening the Bag — The clear-mesh design of the Project Bag lets you see exactly what's inside without unzipping. Know at a glance how many blocks are completed, what colour groups are ready, and where you are in the project — without disturbing the stack.
• Protect Your Work Between Sessions — The tear-resistant waterproof mesh PVC keeps finished blocks dust-free, pet-hair-free, and flat until you need them. For quilters who work in sessions across days or weeks, this is the difference between blocks that stay perfect and blocks that need re-pressing.
• The Full Cutting Workflow in One Purchase — Cut strips (6×24 ruler), piece your blocks, square them up (12.5" ruler + rotary cutter), and store them flat (Project Bag). This bundle covers every step from raw fabric to completed, organised block set.
• Take the Whole Project to a Retreat or Class — The Project Bag's sturdy handles and portable size mean your squared blocks travel with you to a guild meeting or retreat without getting shuffled, bent, or separated from the rest of the project.

1. Cut your fabric strips with the 6" × 24" ruler and rotary cutter. Fold pre-washed, pressed fabric at the selvage. Align the ruler, cut a straight edge, then cut strips at the required width. Cut WOF binding strips the same way. The 24" length spans folded WOF fabric in one pass.
2. Piece your blocks at the sewing machine. Sew the stripped pieces into your chosen block pattern. Chain-piece where possible for efficiency. Press seams before squaring up.
3. Square up finished blocks with the 12.5" ruler. Place each pressed block on the cutting mat. Align the bold line for your target block size (e.g., 6.5" for a 6" finished block). Trim two sides, rotate the block, trim the remaining two sides. The ¼" seam allowance is built into every bold line — no calculating required.
4. Slide completed blocks straight into the Project Bag. Open the large back pocket and stack your squared blocks flat inside — up to 12.5" unfinished blocks fit without folding. If working on a multi-block quilt, organise by row, colour group, or block type as you go. The clear mesh lets you see and count the stack without unpacking.
5. Store the rulers and cutter in the front pocket. The smaller 10" × 16" front pocket holds the 6" × 24" ruler (rolled or flat), the rotary cutter in its case if you have one, and any small notions. Everything for this project travels together in one organised bag.
6. Label the bag using the project card. Write the project name, block size, and count on the card using pencil — it's easy to update as the block count grows. Slot it into the front card holder. At a glance you'll know what's in the bag and how complete the project is.
7. Take it to your next session, class, or retreat. Hang the bag on a hook or door at the venue, or lay it flat on the cutting table. Blocks arrive perfectly flat, rulers are exactly where you left them, and you start sewing in minutes.
