Nice ruler work, Nan!
I joined to Handi Quilter Ruler Club at my local QS, with which I received a discount on the rulers. I bought a variety of big and small rulers. The small rulers ... those that fit in your hand ... are the best if you are using a domestic machine. Even with my HQSS Sit Down machine, I get get results with the smaller rulers. my guess is that large rulers are better suited for long arm machines. For anyone thinking about purchasing rulers, I have to say that the Westalee starter set looks good and is reasonably priced.
Heads Up to anyone who is new to this concept: You will need to purchase a special foot for your machine if you plan to do ruler work.

Nan - Your ruler work is really good, thanks for sharing.
I did my ruler work on line with mysassynotions.com, we had a 2 hour class once per month, for 7 months and in that time completed 25 blocks- then sewed those into a quilt at the end of the 7th month class. The cost only a one time amount of $35 for 14 hours of class. We (the students) downloaded the class also the tips and techniques for our future use and reference. This was a westalee class with Leonie Westalee as the instructor, and Pam Varner as the moderator instructor and presenter.

Nice work!
Audsgirl...when you do ruler work on a large quilt, you just break it down into blocks or borders or whatever, just like any quilting pattern. It's quite do-able on a domestic, just takes planning and lots of time and you "puddle" the area you are working on. It's easier to do QAYG, but still possible on a whole quilt.
