I have two with lips. One is a my favorite the 5x24 Olipfa Edge Ruler with black markings. I have one that had gold line, but didn't like it. I gave it away.
My other favorite ruler is my 16 1/2 in square.

I have three, and if I had to give one up, it might be the 12" square. I realize that I rarely use it.

I use a 6 x 12 and a 6 1/2 x 24. I like both of them!

I would have to go with my 6 x 12 and my 12.5 square. Though I do grab my 5x18 when I need to line things up

I like my 8.5" x 24" - for strips, and also good for borders. Then there is the 12.5" square., if I have to choose. What I really use depends on the pattern, as I have 4 or 5 square rules and 2 24" rulers. :oops: Ah, well...

I own only 5 rulers...is that wrong?? LOL The two I use the most is my 6x12 and 15.5" square. My other rulers are a 4.4 square, 1x6, and 6x24 which I never use.

I also started with those two... but now I love my 6.5" square ruler more than my 12.5" square ruler as I am making smaller blocks, with smaller pieces.
