Not Your Grandmothers quilt
Hi Everyone, I bought the book not your grandmothers quilt in hopes to make a diamond log cabin quilt, and I must say the directions are not easy to comprehend! She has a youtube video, which is not to much help either, I was looking to find either a template or better instriuctions, can anybody enhance on this? Thank you in advance for your time...Grace

Don't know anything about templates for a diamond LC.... I paper-pieced mine, which made it really easy. And accurate. 
Dunster, another member on this board, wrote up her own pattern for a diamond log cabin, maybe she can answer a question or two. Turquoise Diamond Log Cabin Star quilt finished

I found this: 60 degree diamond template it was also in their quilt pattern for their Diamond log cabin quilt and tree skirt
I don't know if this is the size listed in the Not Your Grandmothers Quilt or not. I'm sure other sites have this template as well or perhaps different sizes. (yes, in doing a google search, other sites also have the 60 degree ruler.
In looking up Not Your Grandmother Quilt Log Cabin, I found this video: Not Your Grandmothers Log Cabin Quilt Video and this: Not Your Grandmothers Log Cabin Quilt by Marci Baker (not sure if this is the one or not in your book)
In watching this video for the Marci Baker quilt, it says that it uses a 60 degree diamond ruler

I've had that problem before. I found that one of my Olfa frosted rulers was 1/8" of an inch off. Doesn't sound like a big deal until you get 4 or 5 blocks in, and suddenly you're an inch off. Again, one of the reasons why I paper piece. Have you considered paper-piecing it?
