I think I would make a couple of blocks out of scraps and see if that works. It seems there are always rulers that can be used for many different shapes and sizes. Also, I agree with the members that just read the pattern really closely and you possibly can use one of the rules you already have. Good luck and let us know how you do.

This is kind of like revamping an old pattern and selling it with a new name and different instructions for piecing, that are usually not an improvement on the old pattern; case in point, many trips around the world and mosaic memories. I'm sure there is probably something new/different about the pattern besides the name and price.

I feel I get my money's worth the first time I use a specialty ruler to make a quilt. If I use it again then that's one thing less I have to buy. Feeling bad about buying a new ruler is not on my quilting to do list. I don't have time for that.

It's called Fussy Cut Squared....really original huh? jk! It has fussy cut blocks with square in a square and also a 4 patch in the middle of square in a square. It's really cute.....they used Christmas snowman fabrics. I love the pattern....just wish I could figure it all out! I think I'm almost there now!

I don't think I would buy a ruler and then try to design a pattern to fit the ruler. I like specialty rulers. The cutting goes smoothly, all the pieces fit, and I'm enjoying my quilting time instead of trying to figure out if I lay my basic ruler this way and then flip it this way.........just not my thing. I don't think I've bought a ruler for one pattern that cost more then $20.
