Thanks for all of the wonderful advise! I did more research, and reviewed older posts here regarding quilting rulers. I bought the Bloc Loc HST 6 1/2, and the strip set ruler. I also purchased the Deb Tucker Corner Pop and large Square Squared as well as a magic wand. I like the precision idea of the Deb Tucker rulers, so I will purchase others when I make quilt that uses the blocks for the other rulers. I decided not to buy the stripology ruler due to the information shared in this and other threads. I don't mind strip cutting, so will hold off on that purchase to save money for other rulers.

I got started on this quest when I started sewing together sub blocks for the fireworks quilt I am making. I am a fairly new quilter, and tried to be extra careful and precise only to find that the sub blocks are all wonkly due to the corners primarily. I made the econ blocks by sewing smaller squares diagonally on larger squares. Now after research, I find that I should have cut the squares oversized, and trimmed down to ensure the corners would be large enough. Luckily for me, I have enough fabric to remake the blocks.
