It partly depends on the size of quilts/blocks you work on the most.
When I do smaller than 8" blocks I tend to use my 8x8 or 9x9 rulers a lot and my 4x12 (I think)
When I am doing larger projects I use my Big Momma which is 8x12 or my 8x24 and my 18x18 the most.
I have plenty of rulers for special purposes but in the end it usually comes down to a few workhorses.

I have a Creative Grid 8.5x24.5. Since most of my cuts seem to be 6.5, I find the wider one works for everything. I also use the 12.5 square.

Is anyone else like me?
Yeah....ME! I never use my 24" either. My favorites are the 6½ x 6½ and the 6 x 12. Next in line are the 15 square and the 6½ x 18. Without any one of these, I couldn't quilt! :-)

3X18, 2.5 sq, and 12.5 sq., but very favorite is 6X24 fiskars with rotary built onto it, X-specially for cutting strips!
