You'll need a quarter square triangle. This is the Omnigrid 98 ruler that I use. There's also a 98L, which is the same but bigger. Either will work.

There are a lot of 45-degree triangles out there and many of them will work for this project. The important thing is: THE LINES ON THE RULER HAVE TO BE PARALLEL TO THE LONG SIDE OF THE RULER!

(Sorry to shout!)

If they are parallel to the short sides of the ruler, you have a half square triangle, which doesn't work very well here.

The original. All the lights and darks are the same; only the mediums vary. That's one way to approach your fabric choices. I take a different approach now. I try to get three fabrics that read as if they were from the same material (concrete, wood, florals, hand-dyes) and keep the value jumps equal (the difference between light and medium is about the same as the difference between medium and dark).

Black and white prints work too!

Think about adding an accent strip. Here I’ve used four different accent strips. Accent strips can be wild or mild. And they don't have to be the same throughout the quilt. It's a fun way to add more design decisions to your quilt!

Another accent strip, just a little wider to showcase my hand-marbled fabrics. These accent strips were cut 1 1/4” wide so that 3/4" shows. I usually cut accents strips 1" wide and only 1/2" shows.

You can see the effect of a wider accent strip. It puts a little more emphasis on the accent but still maintains that 3-D look.

You can even use dupioni silk - just be sure to tame it with interfacing before you cut it.

Stripes are easy to miter. I can show you how.

Note the quiet black accent strip.
