    Get the ruler. I have lost count of the number of quilts, runners, placemats, and even a jacket using this marvelous tool!

    I have no opinion one way or the other on the quilt. I just don't know enough to comment.

    However, should you decide to delay this until later in your quilting life, look at Tessellating Stars or Sparkler. It would give a similar look and is lots easier.

    Okay, another one for my Infinity Bucket List! This is an awesome quilt. I read through the directions and the tutorial is really detailed with great photos. I think you can do it; just take your time and enjoy the process. I already have the ruler and have used it a lot so my advice is to get the ruler.

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone, and the advice. I will test it out with scrap fabric first. JanieH, the tutorial is very detailed, and should make it easier. My very knowledgable and experienced SIL is going to visit for a few days, and help me get started. Once I finish the quilt, I will be brave and share the results. Going to buy the Creative Grids ruler based on everyone's advice. My personal rule is to not buy and rulers until I am going to make a quilt that requires the ruler. Luckily this one is only about $20.

    I agree with Innov8R, and yes, get the ruler (you already got the fabric). Post as you go, we all care about your progress!
