Default I need a template, but don't have much to go on

The quilt ruler I am looking for would be like a 6 or 7 inch square, except the sides are curved so the seams are softly curved. There is a website, but it was saved on my old computer which crashed beyond repair. It seems 'flex' might be part of the name. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

No, but ebay was a good idea. I just looked at 19 pages of rulers with 100 on each page, but no luck. If no one can come up with the website, I may have to try to draw my own. If I start with a 7" square, the use my scallop marker to make two sides convex and two sides concave, it may work. I'd rather have a ruler, of course. Thank you. I'll play with scrap fabric before I cut any batiks.

Look up Flip Flop quilts American quilters society. Seems to me they are like what you are looking for.

I have a Simple Curve ruler from www.phillipsfiberart.com but it is just a strip about 2-1/2 inches wide. It does make a nice curve for piecing.

Check out QuiltinaDay.com. I think they have one somewhat like you're talking about.

Flip Flop it is. I found the templates or rulers on the website. Now to decide if I want the square or the rectangle. Thank you, all, but especially bjchad.

Flip flop also has a triangle shape. Please let us know how this ruler works out - I've had them for several years and have never used them!! Yet!!! They sure do make great-looking quilts.
