I also don't have a 2-1/2" square ruler, so I'm going to use MSQC Jenny's method of sewing around the square and cutting in fourths. I just have to figure out what size square to start with. I thought about using the tube method as well, but I don't have a tube ruler.

Edited to add: I just remembered that Jenny has a video on how to cut a tube with a regular square ruler, in case anyone is interested -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOWS...eature=related
