Beleive it or not I use my 3 1/2" by 24" ruler and my 6 1/2" sq the most. Although I have a 16 1/2" square ruler I use for squaring things up. But like esqmommy I have about the same number of rulers I have acquired over the years.

Well, I have to agree...sort of... my favorite is a 6.5 x 24. But being a hand stitcher of old my second choice would be a 1" by 18" . It's interesting, I never had to "square up" a block until I started machine piecing.

you could always use the 12.5 to square a 9.5 block but you can't do it the other way around.

WOW! I've never seen a ruler with a lip, but boy I certainly need to look for that. I have a terrible time keeping my ruler from slipping. I've tried every trick I've heard of, but continue to slip.

I actually have a 6x24 6x12 and then I found a 6x14 which is my favorite, sometime the 6x24 can be a little unruly, no pun intended. I also have my 12.5 square which I love and use probably the most.
