My heart sank when I saw the hourglass blocks, because I’m not good with those. I’d like to use the method described in the section about the Essential Triangles ruler, but I didn’t get that exact ruler. Not sure if I have another ruler that can be used the same way, or if I “have” to get that specific ruler. So, yeah, I’m already feeling discouraged, but that I still want to at least try.
I’ve visited three quilts shops looking for the official Essential Triangles ruler to no avail. Not sure if I should order one or push through or just give up before I start cutting up all this fabric I bought.
I guess I’m going to finish quilting the Optimism quilt since it’s a bit less than halfway done already, then decide from there.
