Losie, IMHO, it would be well worth having one specially cut from acrylic. Print out one of your blocs in foundation pattern, add the 1/4" seam allowances, carefully cut that out and take it to a glass shop for them to use as a template. If you take your DJ ruler to show them, they might even be able to cut the tips off for you, too. I'm trying to use my DJ... I made sure my new length uses the same top angle as the original... but that is really cumbersome... would rather just have the right size. We have a LOT of tri's to go
