I was able to break away from Registrar duties on Saturday during VQF to take a class with Kimberly Einmo.  She is a gifted quilt designer and teacher.  The class was called Sunshine Starburst and we used her specially designed Jelly Roll ruler for the construction.  I got a good start during the class but had quite a bit to do to finish the top.  It still needs to be quilted but I have the top finished.  Her ruler and techniques made working with the diamond pieces so much easier!
