New Ruler

After reading reviews of  how wonderful the Stripology ruler is, I was cautiously optimistic about buying one. But I can say truthfully there is something wonderful about it!  The main advantage is it’s so fast to complete a task, cutting strips, squaring up blocks, and maintaining a straight line. Makes using rulers old fashioned!  So I re-watched the videos for the GEasy Class Pack Vol 1, Katrina and Zoe. As instructed I used the stripology ruler to cut pieces for both quilts using Harmony by Michael Miller bundle of 12 half yards I had bought last year from GE Designs. Couldn’t believe how fast that chore took!  I’ve already made a Katrina quilt and then the Zoe as a part of her quilting class and using my old rulers etc. Here is the Katrina top using the new ruler. 
I am now deciding how to arrange the strips for the Zoe quilt. I have cut the fabric without using a background fabric, hoping to arrange lights and darks from the four shades, rust, sand, blue sky and coal!  I hope it works!  Here are two squares I’m testing for contrast…
