I used deb tuckers ruler for mine too. It took about a week to make the top. It still isn't quilted yet though. I injured my wrist pretty bad and am just now (seven weeks later) able to sew and press with my heavy iron again. There is a u tube video on it in case anyone is interested.
I also want to make a crossed canoes in blue and white. I love that pattern. I wish she would invent one for that too. LOL!
