Most of mine are creative grids. The yellow on the omni just runs everything all together for me. Don't like them. Love the creative grids rulers

Use Olfa frosted rulers. Love the 6x24. Doesn't slip and markings are clear on darks and lights. Nancys Notions has all of them on sale. Search for OLFA.

I use the Creative Grids. The yellow ones make me cross-eyed! I use the 6 1/2 by 24 1/2. I just broke off a corner recently so replaced it with an 8 1/2! That comes in real handy.

Me too, I just have so much invested in the omig grid yellow and also a bright green. I would love the frosted.

My rulers are Creative Grids, for the most part. When I diverge from them, I curse myself later. Joann's doesn't carry them (at least in my area) but some LQSs do.

Whatever one you get, spray the top with clear satin Urethane to stop the glare from overhead lights. Sure helps!

I've got the one with black marking. the 24" is so big and unwieldy. I want a smaller one.

The longer ruler will come in handy for trimming the edges of your quilt top, any borders you might do beforehand ... so, don't get rid of the longer one .. it does have a use.
But, like you ... the reason I usually use the six by 12" ruler because it is more manageable.
Most of the strips I cut are less than six inches wide or six inches at the max ...
if you fold your fabric selvedge to selvedge and then fold it again, fold to selvedge, most all your strips can be cut using the 6x 12" ruler just fine.
the 6 x 12 is very versatile. <wave>

That is exactly why I got the 6x14 sometimes the 6x12 just not big enough and I do use my 12x12.5 square a lot. I love my
6 x 14, great to fold fabric around too.

Creative Grids are my personal favorites too! Love the way the anti-slip dots don't come into play until you're ready to cut!
I also appreciate the thinner black marked lines. I've got many sizes of this brand and am always looking to add some of their specialty rulers too. I have my heart set on their largest square and will eventually convince myself to part with the wad of cash that it costs. My longest is the 6.5 x 24.5....couldn't function without it for projects that need yardage. I tend to use the smallest ruler that will get the job done while providing enough "landing" space for my "holding" hand (left)....so I really didn't need the squares smaller than the 6.5. If I could only have two rulers....heaven forbid....the 12.5 square and the 6.5 x 24.5....Creative Grids brand, of course! Next two would be the 4.5 x 12.5 and the 6.5 square.
