I generally only use my Olfa frosted 6" X 24" ruler. If I am cutting down HST, I like to use a square ruler the exact size of the finished square such as 4" or 5", etc. I also have a 2" X 6" ruler that I use when I am paper piecing to trim the pieces. I have a June Taylor Shape cut ruler that I use to cut my strips even though I have the Accuquilt Go with all the strip dies. Just easier to pull out the June Taylor than lug out the Accuquilt Go and the strip die. I have a gazillion rulers and they just hang on a skirt hanger in the closet.

I have a very nice 18 1/2" square up ruler. It's nice for blocking corners and for cutting large squares of fabric like when making tote bags.
Also, have a 3" by 18" ruler with 1/8" grid marks on it. Comes in handy a lot!

I have many and use different ones for different things. Whenever I can, I prefer to use my 4"x14" rectangle. It's easiest to handle. If I need a wider one, I've got 6"x 18", 6"x24". If I'm cutting strips, I LOVE the June Tailor slotted ruler! For squaring up, I've got various sized squares. I'm all for quick & easy. If it's easier to buy a certain size to square up a lot of blocks, that's what I do. Always wait for a sale of course!
