I rarely use my 6x24
only two ... my 6x12 and 15 1/2" square.
Actually ... the two rulers I use the most are my 6x12 and the shape cut (as big as I can get it!)

Beleive it or not I use my 3 1/2" by 24" ruler and my 6 1/2" sq the most. Although I have a 16 1/2" square ruler I use for squaring things up. But like esqmommy I have about the same number of rulers I have acquired over the years.

I would have to say I agree with most of the gals the 6x24 and the 12.5".

Those are the 2 I have, but I think I would rather have the 12 1/2 square.

I agree with Klue and others on the 12 1/2" square and the 6"x24" rulers. The 6"x24" ruler to cut strips with and the 12 1/2" square ruler to square up blocks as large as 12 1/2" and as small as 1".

Well, I have to agree...sort of... my favorite is a 6.5 x 24. But being a hand stitcher of old my second choice would be a 1" by 18" . It's interesting, I never had to "square up" a block until I started machine piecing.

you could always use the 12.5 to square a 9.5 block but you can't do it the other way around.
Ditto this for me. Those exact rulers are practically worn through at finger hold spots at my house!!

WOW! I've never seen a ruler with a lip, but boy I certainly need to look for that. I have a terrible time keeping my ruler from slipping. I've tried every trick I've heard of, but continue to slip.

I actually have a 6x24 6x12 and then I found a 6x14 which is my favorite, sometime the 6x24 can be a little unruly, no pun intended. I also have my 12.5 square which I love and use probably the most.
