I use the Angler 2 all the time. Love it.

That looks really handy! I'm getting ready to make 12 feet of border with diamonds and I bet that would help a lot.
Hope you post all your flying geese when you get your quilt finished!

yup I have to agree with you, and I always hated to toss those little triangles....

That was one of the first tools I ever bought. I did the snowball quilt and it had 920 2 1/2 inch squares. I was very happy to NOT have to draw lines lol

You might also want to try Eleanor Burn's method. She has a Quilt in a Day book out on Flying Geese and also a special ruler with the instructions in it. My geese have turned out really well since I started using her method.

I just tried the link I posted and it works but here it is again as a tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/795rkyf


The one from New Leaf looks about the same but it is printed on flexible vinyl thereby possibly avoiding any sharp edges that your fabric might or might not get hung up on. I haven't used either the New Leaf nor the other one listed at the beginning of this thread.
