Then, with the idea for that quilt swirling around in my head, some fabric called my name, and I answered. How could I not? After all, I would be using up old stash stuff--well part of it is old anyway...
Last night, I cut out the pieces and started stitching them together. Although the pattern calls for the same fabric to be used for the strips, I had to find out what it would look like with different fabrics between them. I'll have to play a bit more with the arrangement...
Starting another quilt wouldn't be so bad, but I also have a full size quilt spread out across my living room floor so I can arrange its borders. Oh well, no one uses that room anyway! Here's a little peek at it, but it has a longer story of how it came to be that will just have to wait for another post.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Donna, Welcome to Glorious Applique, and to blogland, as well. You are going to enjoy both a great deal, I'm sure! Your diamonds quilt is gorgeous! I do not think you are going to have much trouble with choosing your fabrics, as you have already been working with these wonderful, wild, prints. The main adjustment (I think) will be seeking out the small bits in the prints to fit in the smaller applique pieces. Does that make sense? I just started my second block, and NOW I'm starting to loosen up and have fun. Thank goodness! I have been pretty nervous till now. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Michele
It seems to me that you're pretty accomplished with using colour, your choices look great. I'll be watching with interest. I was all over the place with projects last year and had so much fun but I have blinkers now.
Found your blog through Mrs. Schmenkman Quilts. Congratulations on winning her giveaway. Now, about that quilt on your living room floor waiting for borders: Is it still there?
