I don't know how to find it again but it was two weeks ago. None of these rulers work for long, I lose them or forget them.
Was it this one?

That was me. I have a quilt that I am in the process of finishing - this is SO easy - no drawing. Just sew, cut corner to corner, and put the 4 squares together in the pinwheel method. The only ruler you need is one to cut from corner to corner. And I learned to use a LOT of Best Press (or starch).
Check out my blog - I just posted it there last night:

Yes Martha. I have you to thank for posting this originally, I knew I had seen a demonstration somewhere, but as I watch several shows I got confused. Nothing confusing about this method though ..... I am converted, and Rhonda's method is also brilliant for using up scraps.
