I did not see a one-use ruler, but I did see a 7" X 12" rectangular template with a cutting curve built in. I offered to help a friend cut for a group of children she was teaching to make quilts, thinking it would be 5, 6 or 6.5 inch squares. When she said 7" squares, I had to re-think how I would do it. Sometimes I can get off the mark when lining up fabric with a long ruler that is 8" or 6.5" wide.

I made this quilt using the qcr and won best in show at a local challenge. It took some getting used to and I probably would have had an easier time if I'd bought a pattern. I just muddled through with the freebie directions on the web. [ATTACH=CONFIG]549410[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]549410[/ATTACH]

This is the ruler the OP was asking about

There are many quilt shops that carry it but Phillips Fiber art is not one of them. They do have a curve ruler that looks very much like the same idea though.

I admit, I am a ruler and gadget junkie. I have the QCR and the longarm ruler that goes with it. Love them both. There is a learning curve, but once you watch the videos a few times, it isn't so hard to follow their patterns. The first quilt I made with the ruler I used my normal 45mm rotary cutter and it was okay but then I realized that a 28mm works much better on those curves. I'm working on my third Sewkindofwonderful pattern now, Metro Medallion. You can't speed through these patterns but I love a challenge.
