    You Go Girl!!! :thumbup: :)

    The only issue I have in doing triangles, is making sure I watch those darn seam allowances. :roll: lol!!!
    I don't use a special ruler either.

    Thank you for your comment and what you said about the Triangles.

    I did cut out a few triangles just to practice cutting them out and than sewing them and I didn't think I did too bad of a job either.

    Congratulations on your practice and patience. You didn't list an accurate seam allowance. Get that conquered and your triangles will become easy-breezy! Good luck. Keep practicing.

    On my Practice Squares I've been doing a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

    Thank you...yeah I take my long ruler that has a 1/4 inch seam marking on it and I mark the back of my squares which is 1/4 inch seam and than I do my running stitch right on that seam line.
