It may have come out sooner than 2 1/2 years ago, but my DH bought me the Fiskars Ruler and Rotary Cutter combination, and I love it, especially when I have a lot of fabric cuts to make. Having a handle where you just push your hand across instead of holding on to a rotary cutter, really saves me wrist pain when cutting. That is the only "new" thing I can think of. I'm happy for you that you are getting back to quilting. I was sidelined for 2 years due to a torn rotator cuff that didn't really work, then the pain got so bad that I had the shoulder replaced - I wish I could have done it sooner, as I feel like a spring chicken and my quilting time and projects have really increased.
