    I don't understand the purpose of a snowball ruler. Here is a website that gives you directions to make them no matter what size you want them to be

    A dear guild member has a few of these type rulers. She uses them a lot. She has had them as long as I have been a guild member so I thought they were no longer made. Her rulers have no name or brand but looks like these but made from firm plastic stuff not acrylic. Her printed instructions are age yellow. I'll have to order a few as a surprise for her! Thanks for posting!

    They are too pricey for me. I will use cardboard before I pay that.

    Too expensive for me! I wouldn't pay that for a ruler to make Snowball blocks.

    I agree with chaskaquilter. They usually sit in the drawer.

    Never heard of these rulers. There are several demos on youtube.

    I have a bunch of rulers and templates but I always seem to grab the same ones over and over. I have stopped buying new ones because they just seem to sit there without being used.
