Which ruler do you use most?

Is anyone else like me?

Because I prefer big blocks, I use my 6x24" and 3x18" rulers the most. I have just gotten a June Tailor Shape Cut and have used it a lot in the last couple of days. I don't know if there is a Shape Cut larger than 12 inches, but if there is, I will probably buy one. I don't like to fold my fabrics more than once since I can't keep the inside folds straight.

6-1/2x24 and 3-1/2x24...and also my short cut ruler used the most and also use a lot my 6-1/2x6-1/2. I use about every other ruler I have on a pretty regular basis too...have square rulers in lots of sizes...just depends on the project I am working on. my largest ruler is a 20-1/2" square and I am glad I have that when I need it.
