I'm so happy with how this turned out. I was doing a round for a medallion quilt in our guild and decided to use this new ruler I had bought. I first saw it in my gmail advertisements. I visited the website and decided to give it a try. I think it looks cool!

It's called a Double Diamond Ruler. In the package you get 2 rulers for doing 4.5" and 2.5" borders. You can see them at Bright-Quilting-Notions.com.

The video is really cool there to watch. I love neat tools, so I might just have to get this one. It only goes to where the double diamond is glued all together. Do you then satin stitch it down?

Crafty1 04-24-2010 05:41 PM

That's great! Looks like it is fun to do!

Rachelcb80 04-24-2010 05:48 PM

The rulers are very easy to use, and it's simple to make also. As soon as I get them on the medallion, I'll take a picture and post it!

The instructions say you can stitch up through the centers of all the diamonds. I did that with nylon invisible thread, although it is visible in the picture. The other way is to quilt it and secure the diamonds that way.

What a cool border. I want one of those rulers. I'm heading to the site now.

Hi, I'm Kim, the inventor of the Double Diamond Ruler! This notion is really taking off! I hope you all try it. Just one correction, the rulers in the package make 1-1/2" and 3-1/2" wide diamonds (not 4-1/2"). The website www.Bright-Quilting-Notions.com has lots of ideas how to use double diamonds from quilt borders to clothing to home dec. Check it out!

GrammaNan 04-25-2010 08:04 AM

I like it!

gaillynne 04-25-2010 09:35 AM

I love that, I really like pieced borders I think they add so much to a quilt.

A lot of the credit for the great border must also go to you for your precise sewing. Can't wait to see that on the quilt!

Outstanding!!! I too will be waiting to see the finished quilt.
