All colours go together
Sometimes use 1/4" of selvage for seam allowance
Use fabric scissor to cut paper if paper scissors aren't within reach
Fudge on seam allowance if I need to
Can't think of any others, but I probably break them too ... am a Taurus - stubborn, bull in china shop

I was just at a retreat with a good friend from Cincinnati (spelling?) who'd recently been to the Columbus Quilt Show.
She said it was terrific, good vendors - She bought me a beautiful collection of FQs now going into a quilt. I googled the designer's name and bought alot more on line.
Terrible picture of both of us, but good of Smidgen, her dog, whom we all loved. Five of us are at my son's house in upstate New York for a week. We do it every year, driving from 4 different states. We quilt, eat too much, drink gallons of wine and catch up.
