I snapped a photo of my tools I like.
The green self healing mat is one of the biggest you can get & I love this size - one day I would like to get a smaller one just for scraps - mmm might have to put that on my Christmas/birthday wish list.

The middle ruler is what I sue the most - wish I had brought this size first 6 inch by 24 inch & watching closely it's what the shops use.

Rotary cutters the top one is what I prefer as the safety catch you hold (can push the red button to keep it in) - the other one has a slide clip to put guard on - I never remembered to use it - and one should put the safety guard on each time you stop using it - esp if you have kids around or wear bear feet & er umm drop the cutter.
The size I like is 45cm - again the same size shops seem to use - good to remember as I could never remember size when I went into get new blades. I tell you, I soon learned the size after having to go home to look.

And my square - I use this a lot - it's not a must have but jolly useful.

Again you do not have to own tools to make quilts - but they do make your work load neater & faster.
