ebay is the only place that I was able to find one. There are 2 types, one is shorter (14 inches) the other longer (24?). You'll need the longer one. They cost $26.95 on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-9-Degre...item483c73f466
This is the one you need, you might want to run a 'search' on ebay and perhaps there's someone listing one cheaper.
Kind Regards,

Very pretty! I really want that wedge ruler!! I keep saying I'm going to get one, then I look on Ebay and find nothing but full priced ones then I stop looking again....

I need to just bite the bullet and get one one of these days!

Very pretty. It really seems to be swirling.

Everyone has their own taste! I know a gal with a purple Christmas tree..she loves purple so much that her hubby bought this tree for her to have each year. You did a great job on the skirt!

Ohhhhh it's beautiful! Love the non-traditional Christmas colors!

I just (yesterday) finished the same quilt, using red, green, white, gold. I quilted it using gold metallic thread. I will take pictures and post them.

Didn't you find it used a LOT of fabric (especially with the ruffle, which is very full), so it ended up being a pretty expensive tree skirt?

Well it does cause you need almost 6 yards of fabric. There is alot of wast when you cut your wedges is why. I saved all of mine and I am going to make a table toper or something..I figured why waste them Thay don't have to make a pattern ort line up if it is just a scrappy right?
