When I was making my GFG quilt using 2 inch hexagons I drew the lines. I didn't use the templates to mark the lines, I have a small 1/4 inch ruler - it worked like a charm. Also, I used a quilting pencil. Tried the pen where the ink disappears in 20 minutes, well let us just say you can't draw too many lines in advance before it disappears. As long as the seams are consistent I no longer worry about the perfect 1/4 inch. But I also have my Accuquilt cutters to keep the shapes consistent. Also, piecing in the appropriate order makes a difference too.
You have to do what works for you. And we need to share what we do so someone that is struggling may find a solution.
