and then there were thirty one

Stacks of blocks are so satisfying, aren't they?

But I'm almost out of paper templates so I need to start joining these diamonds together.  While I'm reluctant for my pile to disappear, watching a quilt grow is also exciting.  Besides, I'm anxious to see how the prints I've chosen will play together.  I'm envisioning a scrappy calico look - and I think the small checks and plaids I've thrown into the mix will create visual interest and a little movement. 

We'll see.  What's in my head doesn't always translate.

Happy weekend!

Absolutely beautiful. You have such a knack for prints and color, I think the translation will be fantastic. I agree with a previous comment, "heirloom".

Have a wonderful weekend.

I have not followed you for very long, but I suspect what is in your head will translate beautifully this time!

I'm impressed with how quickly it's growing - you're right, it really is satisfying seeing all the blocks stacked up, but the next best thing is seeing a row (or two!) progress :) Hope you're having a good weekend/
