Looking at the patterns to play catch-up, they are everywhere and it seems like everytime I make one, the quilting gremlins strike. And here I thought the gremlins just like looms and lots of ends of yarn!
I have a ruler by June Tailor called "Perfect Half-Square & Quarter Square Triangles." IT'S THE BEST!!! Makes from 1 1/2" up to 6 1/2" HS & QS triangles. Costs less than $20.00. (Comes with clear instructions.)
