Remember, the 9 degree ruler is not really a ruler, more a template. If you look at the measurements, the smallest on says 3 (note: no " symbol), but is really only 1/4" from the end.
Also, there is a notation on the pattern that depending on the actual size of your fat quarters, you may not get that longest measurement. Some of the folks in the class I took didn't, and their finished runner was still lovely.
