It is so much easier to sew the 2 triangles together with blunt tips. Also, when you get to joining the halves (when sewing the rows together), the amount of bulk is drastically reduced.
I, too, initially thought the measurement problem was because of the ruler, but not that the blunt ruler was a problem. That was a weird sentence but I hope it made sense.
And in this particular quilt, especially with hexagons, the measurement number is really irrelevant as long as it's consistent and constant throughout the ALL triangles.
