Default Strip pieced Dresden ruler

Is there an American version of this ruler? I want to make not only a strip-pieced Dresden, but also set it on a 45 degree angle. I'm going to be making a ribbon quilt for a friend, and I think that could be cool. This ruler does both, but I'm not really finding an American equivalent. (I did check the UK Amazon site to see if I could order this one. I didn't find it there.) Ideas?

Thank you!

I think Jenny Doan from the Missouri Star Quilt co. did a video on a Dresden plate with segments.

This ruler comes free with a current magazine which is about £6. I would happily pick one up and post it to you but I think the cost of postage would be about the same as the magazine itself

It reminds me a bit of the starburst ruler from Creative Grids

What is the name of the magazine? I’ve seen some UK quilting mags at Barnes & Noble.

this place will ship it to the US. Never ordered from them so it was just a web search. The shipping is £7 so £12.99 total, however that converts.

That's a pretty cool ruler and set of ideas! You could take an ordinary fan template and put your own vertical centre line, one inch horizontal lines, and add the diagonal ones too if you wanted to make those designs.
