You Go Girl!!! :thumbup: :)

The only issue I have in doing triangles, is making sure I watch those darn seam allowances. :roll: lol!!!
I don't use a special ruler either.

Thank you for your comment and what you said about the Triangles.

I did cut out a few triangles just to practice cutting them out and than sewing them and I didn't think I did too bad of a job either.

Congratulations on your practice and patience. You didn't list an accurate seam allowance. Get that conquered and your triangles will become easy-breezy! Good luck. Keep practicing.

On my Practice Squares I've been doing a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
