That sounds like a pretty complete list to me. I use a lipped ruler a lot - it is one thing I wish I had when I was learning.
Check into some of the Quilt in a Day books by Eleanor Burns - they are wonderful, and she is an expert at finding easy ways to cut and piece. Many of us got hooked early on because of her log cabin book. It was the first time I got a top done in a week, and really inspired me to stay with the craft.
There is a tablerunner class here that was a great starter -
