Agree with noveltyjunkie that you don't NEED anything. Hopefully you have gotten the rotary cutter & mat because they are essential. The rulers will depend on what you want to do. The 6 in. by 24 in. is necessary for cutting long strips, but I also like the 6 in. by 12 in. But have a lot more because they seem to throw themselves at you when you walk by them at quilt shows and quilt stores. And as time goes by there are sales where you will pick up other items because of the reasonable price and will be nice to have. Hopefully you have quilting friends who will loan you items to use so you can decide it you want them.

In the beginning a white sheet on the floor or on top of your bed can serve as a design wall in the beginning, no reason to hurry and buy one early on.

I do keep a note pinned on the board in my sewing room, that all seams on the even rows press to the right and all seams on the odd rows are pressed to the left. So I don't have to remember and done't have to think about it at al when I am making the quilt.

Hope you keep on enjoying making quilts. There is always something new to try.
