Hmmm... It looks like the Creative Grids ruler and the easy angle ruler have the same concept (although the creative grid includes quarter square triangle, but easy angle costs less!) it's good to know. Thanks

I prefer the Easy Angle.....I would rather not remove paper when I don't have to!

I started using thangles and enjoyed using them. I have since found it faster and simpler to cut 2 squares 1/2" bigger than the actual size hst size I want, right sides together sew a 1/4 seam on either side of a center line corner to corner. With this method I don't have to keep up with the thangles and making sure I have the size I need for the different projects.
