I used to use the Easy Angle and Companion Angle rulers (same idea as Bonnie's Essential Triangle tool), and had such a hard time with them. Nothing was ever accurate, and I found the process of cutting to be very laborious and time-consuming. But other people swear by them, so there you are.
I used to listen to audiobooks while working in my sewing room, but then they changed the library catalogue from simple to complex and I have yet to figure it out. Now I'm either listening to my Lord of the Rings audiobook or my tapes of sappy love songs and Americana taped off the radio.
I had a good day yesterday, getting my fabrics paired, and sprayed with Best Press. I tried one set to make sure my seam allowance was accurate. I'll continue pressing and cutting today and should have plenty of pieces for leaders/enders to proceed with. I'm almost finished putting my borders together for Indigo Way, and then on to joining blocks into rows.
