When finished sewing your block to go home please double check to be sure it is 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" --- not almost 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" when you send them back.
I have a favorite "square" for this.

Absolutely love it along with a rotating cutting mat. Don't know what I'd do without these 2 things. Don't know where I got it but wish I had 2 of them in case something happens to this one.
You can find the square up rulers at WalMart or any fabric store. It does not necessarily say Square Up on it as yours does shown here. I have a couple of sets in each size from 4 1/2 to 12 1/2inches. One set I have says June Tailor and the other Fuzzy Cut.
It definitely is a life saver to square up blocks.
