I've gotten to where I started relying on the rulers I have. I thought I wanted to order a specific ruler for the Hunter's Star. Before I did that I went to YouTube and Google. Checked Quilter's Cache and a few other places. Found I don't really need the ruler, I could make due with what I have which are 3 rulers with the 45 degree angle on them. I checked out a template and printed a template for the size block I wanted. Then put my ruler against the template on the 45 degree angle. Guess what, I don't need the specific ruler for the Hunter's Star and a couple other blocks. I was also able to print a template for a 9 degree ruler. You can use legal size paper for that and just line it up. Remember in high school and elementary when we had the protractor and compass to use for the different angles and degrees. They still work and I use them. I use the compass to make circles and wedges. easy for yo yos and you can add that extra 1/4". It seems like the more intricate the pattern the pricier the ruler or template. Just think about if it is going to be a one time pattern quilt you won't make again or do you really need it that bad. I think about more fabric to buy for my stash.
