Talk to the Bloc Loc people and ask them the most popular size that follows most patterns on the market of quilt making. I did that and the rep at the quilt show advised me which ones to buy. I have been very happy about my choices and have not needed any more.
Everyday use rulers, I use the Creative Grid because I can see the markings clearly, from the 6" ruler to 28" with a 'lip' on it. I am blind in one eye, and this really helps to be more accurate in cutting. Taking extra care the time to cut it right the first time saves time and money. I have learned so much on QB to be a better quilter and still learning at 76 years old.

Everyone has their own opinions. Have you tried any of these? Any quilt shops or friends near you with these rulers? I am a Bloc Loc lover, Quilters Select rulers are amazing as are their mats but so are frosted Olfas. Stripology can be OK but a great QS ruler is just as good in my opinion. Go try one and you'll see what works for you.

Love my Bloc Locs! I have a couple for HST's, and have tried using the larger one for smaller units. It's doable, but not as efficient. I rarely make HST's that are over 2.5"
My favorite Bloc Locs are for Flying Geese. They also come in several sizes, as well as sets.
