I don't have a 12 1/5 inch square ruler.
Is there anything else you can use for this pattern?
I really don't want to buy one for one time use if I can help it.
How would a cut cardboard work?

You might find you'd use the 12.5" square ruler more than you think. A lot of blocks are 12.5" unfinished. I use mine a lot to do a last minute tweak on my finished blocks before I start putting them together. I use it and the 4.5 the most.

I agree, it would be a nice addition to your notions. My girlfriend whom I quilt with owns one, I don't, but I have used her's on many many occassions. Hmmmm.....maybe that's what I will ask to have for my birthday....

You should also realize that the 12.5" ruler can also be used to square up EVERY sized square/block that you could ever make. I have a 6.5" square ruler that I use when I have a lot of small squares to cut but the 12.5" is an essential tool in my sewing room.
