Well I took the plunge and ordered the lst set of angle play templates. I figured I might as well try one group lst and see if I liked them before ordering all of them. I had bid on a complete set on Ebay but the darn "automatic" bid people kept out bidding me so I gave up at $46 cause I figured they would keep going higher and higher. Wish me luck in figuring out the blocks since I cant get the hang of paper piecing!

Amazon has the first set of AnglePlay templates for $23.45 plus shipping. It shows that they only have two sets in stock, though. (Better hurry!)

They have several other AnglePlay products in stock, too. Some items seem to be limited in quantity, though.

My tracking number shows that mine are supposed to arrive tomorrow. (I ordered from Soft Expressions since their price for the complete set was cheaper.) Can't wait! :thumbup:

Looking through the Gallery is sew much fun!! I love seeing all the different blocks. Abby's Mom, you had such a great idea to send out a beautiful soft background fabric and then ask for one TOT to mix it with. Those blocks will make an awesome quilt! I may try that next Boom.
And Moonrise, I love all the Phanton of the Opera blocks you will be getting! What a fun theme! And giving us swatches of the other fabrics was brilliant.
OH! Groovy Pieces, the blocks you made are so fun! I just LOVE mine.. somehow I missed it in the thread here, so I was blown away when I saw it in the Gallery! Way fun Bright block!!! :):)
The blocks all look lovely, ladies. I just wish we could start the next boom right away! I have so much fabric in my Fabric Museum, that this is a great way for me to use some of it up! Next time I think I will go for both Fast and Slow group! The more the merrier!
I can't wait to get my hands on these blocks. :):)

Bluelady...Thanks for your nice comment! I shamelessly stole the idea of 1 background and onlyTOT from a previous Boom!

Got my AnglePlay template set today, and I just tried making a block. I picked the simplest-looking one to start out. It used just one template: E

Talk about EASY! The edges line up perfectly so there's no guesswork when sewing the pieces together, and the block came out to be a perfect 12-1/2" without any squaring up at all. The block went together in about 20 minutes. It probably took longer to cut the shapes out than to sew it together. LOL!

Color me HAPPY! :D

By the way, I was flipping through the book that came with the set, and noticed that it has templates A-L printed in the back of it. The book is available separately. If you wanted to, you could buy just the book and use the printed templates to try them out, rather than immediately forking over the money for the acrylic ones. Granted, the acrylic ones are infinitely nicer, but you could see how you like them before spending a lot of money. The book is called "AnglePlay Blocks - Simple Half-Rectangle Triangles, 84 No-Math Quilt Blocks, Easy-To-Follow Charts" by Margaret J. Miller. Here are a couple of links, but you might check eBay as well. The price varies, so shop around to get the best deal.

Moonrise! Beautiful block. :) and don't ya just love how the templates make the points perfect! And I have found that for the blocks where a bunch of the points meet in the middle, like yours, if I press the seams open, the block lays flat in the middle. I also use a rotating cutting mat to make cutting the out easier.
I also glad you like them!
