Okay.... I'm not afraid to admit that I absolutely hate my Easy Angle ruler. I cannot get enough accuracy, even though I have tried using every trick in the book for the past three mystery quilts. I have officially retired the darn thing.
On the plus side, I used the free HST paper method and my jaw literally dropped.... fast, easy, and EVERY unit was the perfect size with no trimming! I am definitely a convert!
Connecting threads has Triangulations on sale for half price today so I had to splurge! They also have Mirage mottled fabrics on sale, and I got several FQ of reds, golds, neutrals and blacks to round out my stash for Allietare. Each FQ was only $1.04, so I have no guilt! Only downside is that shipping may be delayed to the overwhelming response to their Cyber-Monday sale, but I can wait
