If anyone could walk me through this I'd really appreciate it. Or, should I break down and get one of the rulers she suggests? Thanks!
I like her rulers, I do have them but I think the 8 at a time is better for this unless you already have the strips cut. Check out the Magic 8 half square triangle method. Out of respect for Bonnie who doesn't want numbers listed, you can find the square size you need easily online. I would think they have videos online also so you can watch how it's done.
