Spiffy,
We used a Shape Cut for a class I took. The teacher suggested we buy these small sandpaper dots to apply to the ruler around the edges to keep it anchored to the fabric. Works like a charm!!
The Joann's here has a few of them. I have the fat one and the longer one for cutting strips. When you have over 2,000 pieces to cut for a quilt, they really, REALLY come in handy!
BTW, I love your piano quilt in your avatar. Best wishes!

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:
http://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponlin...lay.asp?i=1884
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.
