If you look carefully you see that qgis has many features that in ArcGIS
are only available in (very well) payed extentions. You just need to know
where to find them.

For me, the fastest way to do this would be to use Andreas suggestion, the
Vector Grid, to create the the necessary number of squares (Polygons), say
18 x 2.
Like Andre said, they will be aligned with the coordinate system and not
with your working area. But that is not a problem, cause you can edit the
layer, select the desired squares, and use Rotate feature and move feature
in the digitizing toolbar to align and put the squares over your working
area.
