Trying to square up a 9.5-inch unfinished block with an undersized 8.5-inch ruler is impossible, and using a massive 12.5-inch square is clumsy and blocks your view of the cutting mat.

Tailor-made to true up blocks that finish at exactly 9 inches, this premium acrylic template eliminates the awkward math of piecing traditional Nine-Patches. Equipped with precision-drilled marking holes, high-contrast centering crosshairs, and the legendary Creative Grids slip-free perimeter, this ruler ensures your blocks are razor-sharp and perfectly symmetrical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDedicated 9.5-Inch Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e The absolute perfect size for trimming, squaring, and trueing intermediate blocks that are designed to finish at exactly 9 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNine-Patch Precision:\u003c\/b\u003e Instantly check the accuracy of your 9-inch finished Nine-Patch blocks (made of 3-inch squares) without measuring multiple times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDrilled Marking Holes:\u003c\/b\u003e Features precision-drilled holes at standard increments, allowing you to quickly dot a 1\/4-inch seam allowance around fussy-cut motifs using a fabric pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTargeted Center Framing:\u003c\/b\u003e Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal crosshairs let you zero in on specific fabric graphics, keeping your focal prints dead-center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSlip-Free Perimeter:\u003c\/b\u003e The patented translucent grip coating lines the outer edge, locking the acrylic directly into your fabric to prevent rotary cutter kick-outs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBuilt-in Seam Allowances:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes a marked 1\/2-inch seam allowance on two adjoining sides so your trimmed blocks nest effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWhy Customers Love This Tool\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eQuilters who lean heavily into traditional blocks—like the classic Nine-Patch, Churn Dash, or 9-inch Ohio Stars—consider this specific ruler an absolute lifesaver. Instead of lining up a massive rectangular ruler and hoping it doesn't slide, you simply drop this 9.5-inch square directly over your block. Customers love that it provides an instant visual confirmation that their block is perfectly sized. The drilled holes are a massive favorite for appliqué artists who need to add exact seam allowances around oddly shaped, fussy-cut centerpieces before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTraditional Nine-Patch Blocks:\u003c\/b\u003e The ultimate squaring tool for classic 9-inch finished pieced blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntermediate Samplers:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for truing up mid-to-large sampler quilt squares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFussy Cutting Focal Prints:\u003c\/b\u003e Accurately frame and center medium-to-large fabric motifs with perfectly measured borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrecision Appliqué Prep:\u003c\/b\u003e Use the drilled holes to dot and cut exact 1\/4-inch seam allowances around center graphics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003eCreative Grids® Quilt Ruler 9-1\/2\" Square It Up (CGRSQ9)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eDetailed usage instructions and fussy cutting guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Creative Grids®\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGRSQ9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9-1\/2 inches x 9-1\/2 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Clear High-Grade Acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMade in:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIs this the right size for a classic Nine-Patch block?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes.

Take a fine-tip fabric marker and place dots through the drilled holes around the perimeter.
