I hate having to buy a ruler for this and that but then I think about how often I just might use it and if you can get a coupon go for it. If you're going to be doing a lot of quilting or do quilt a lot and that pattern is something you really want to make then just splurge. Ask DH for an advance on C-Mas money. With this ruler, you maybe the only one with signature quilts. I've never seen this pattern before and it would be worth the money. I do see and hear of many who use the ruler for different quilts because of the diversity or it.
