    i would say that any size square up ruler would work as long as you leave a 1/4" seam allowance outside the points

    I've been thinking about granny square quilts too, since Faintly Artistic posted hers yesterday. It's gorgeous.

    There's a YouTube video on how to trim the blocks which might be useful:
