Help please: I like to make diamond shape quilt, something similiar to the log cabin quilt, only in diamond shape. Is there a diamond shape ruler that you would recommend?
Thanks,

Here is one of my favorite patterns from the Moda Fabrics site. Just what you were describing:)

That's the one I want to do. It's absolutely beautiful. So, I thought there must be a ruler out there for this instead of using the using the paper template.

Google "Boondoggle Ruler" - Not sure if that is what you want or not. The quilt you want to make is stunning.

There are templates that DO exist because I have a set of them. There are about 5 or 6 different shapes all together in the set. I got them included in a huge box of ebay stuff though, so I have no idea where they actually came from...maybe try Joannes or some other huge store?

Here are the free patterns from Moda. I'd love to do every one of them!

You can print off the diamond shape and take it to a glass cutting place. They will cut it out of plexiglass for you. Just a thought :D

I have tried Joann's and Hancock's but no such luck. Off to ebay and do some searching.

While I hate to talk you out of buying a ruler, why not just use the 30/60 degree lines on your mat and current ruler?

Wow... a set of 10 for 45 degree laser cut ruler is 50 bucks plus 5 bucks shipping. I would love to get the set but I don't need the whole set. Plus I could spend that money on fabric!!

Cathe, thanks for the suggestion. I think I will do that!!!
