I love blue tape and keep a roll in my sewing kit for a lot of uses/reasons.
For quilting though, as Onebyone suggested, I'd use a more standard masking tape. I also keep a roll of 1/4" quilters tape in my sewing kit. I use it mostly to mark lines on my rulers to help me see where I'm cutting. There are a couple of brands and options like Dritz that are easily available on the notion wall or thrown in with an internet order. Keep in mind that it is reusable, I think most people use/re-use pieces around foot length -- although you could mark long lines easily.
