I started out buying precut blocks as I was afraid of messing up cutting my own. I have tons of all size square rulers now and three cutting boards. I'll probably end up getting a cutter one day too but for now...
I also discovered that little seam tool [h=2]
Fons & Porter Quarter Inch Seam Markers.[/h]
That thing is amazing.. I followed the directions enclosed with it and made perfect triangles of different colors. Love it. It helps make awesome looking baby quilts.
My next thing I want to master is stars..
