Now I Remember What the Whatchamagigger Is For!

This little gem:



I bought it at a local quilting shop and, at the time, thought it was just the dandiest thingo. But then... I forgot what it was for!

But now, I remember! It's for those times when you need to make triangle-blocks using two squares.



In the picture above, I've placed the thingo so that the center line is right on the point of these 2 square bits (laying with right sides together, the wrong/back side is on top). You just use a pencil to draw a stitching line on either side of the ruler-thingo, then stitch on the line and cut in between:



Voila!

2 square blocks made of triangles - easy as pie. EASIER!
