it’s funny how one technique appeals to one person and not another.
I really did not like the method Bonnie described as the Simple Folded Corners, which creates bias strips to make 8 half-square triangles at a time. I think part of my issue was that I needed 4 different rulers to make the units: a 15” square for the initial square, a 24x 6 with a 45 degree mark to cut the bias strips, a bias square to cut the triangles and then a 12x 6 to trim the units to size.
On the other hand, I just bought the Essential Triangle Ruler and really liked using it. And that ruler and the 12x 6 were the only rulers I used!
