It was a large sheet with slots 2 1/2 inches apart. You could cut accurate 2 1/2 in strips in just seconds with this ruler, template, cutting tool or whatever it's called. It looked like the measurements were 24x24.

I found something similar on the Quilt in Day website:

but I know what Eleanor used was larger because she folded her fabric in half and was able to cut the entire length of fabric and it was also square.

While I was looking I also found this great resource:

I hope someone knows where to find this because it would certainly save a lot of time while ensuring accuracy. Thanks for any help you can give me.
I have a new June Taylor 12" strip ruler,,I needed to cut a bunch of nickle squares...I did not like it at all! My cutter got stuck in it. It is too tight.
Anybody have advice?
Anybody want to swap black and white print fat qtrs, for it?
