Ruler work

I have a quilt top on my frame this weekend that belongs to me. It was a UFO for over a year and I finally put the borders on it.  I haven't been able to do my own for a couple months but I'm caught up on my customer quilts so I thought I'd take some "me" time.  It's so much fun doing ruler work, very relaxing as it stitches.  Here's a photo of the quilt top, the 2nd photo is my progress so far. 

This quilt is called Diamonds & Pearls.   The top is made using a ruler called the Split-Rects and it really makes a nice quilt.  Fons & Porter made a tutorial on how to use the ruler to make this quilt.  The video is on YouTube:

Diamonds and Pearls quilt with the Split Rects Ruler

Lovely spring weather has arrived in North Carolina and I want a new quilting project so I turned to youtube to find inspiration.  I stumbled across a tutorial for the Diamonds and Pearls quilt which is made using the Split Rects Ruler.  You can see the quilt in the background.

I used Omnigrid's highlighter tape called Glow line tape on my ruler.  I love this tape, really helps to see the lines on the ruler at a glance. It comes in 3 colors and I found it at JoAnn.
