If it is just the triangle you need then go to an Art supply store or Drafting supply store and get one. It would be less expensive. It wouldn't have measurement marks on it but you could add that depending on ther size of the triangle you are cutting.

Just remember that you can easily cut smaller triangles with a larger ruler, but it's very difficult to cut larger triangles with a smaller ruler. I'd get the largest one you think you'll ever use.

The 6" seems to be the best.

You need the Maxine Rosenthal book One Block Wonders Encore. She now has a new book out called OBWs Cubed which has even more great 3D effects in it as well, but the Encore book gives very clear directions for the various cubes. :-D

I just got that book last week, great designs and instructions. I am supposed to get 'One Block Wonders-Cubed' this Friday. I love these books.

Here is a link to directions for the Hollow Cube blocks, hope it opens for you. They are fun to make!

I also copied the directions for the Cube Blocks. They look easy enough. Can't wait to try them. Thanks. And thanks to Miss Quilter for asking about the instructions in the first place.

Thank you to everyone who helped my decide. I am going to get the 6" Clearview Ruler and if there is one in 8" I just may get that one also. Thank you again. Carol

Have a lot of exchange blocks to do before that one comes up again.

FYI: I just received my new mailer from JoAnns and they will be having a sale Aug 8 thru 14 for Fons & Porter quilting notions....50% and no coupon needed.
