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.

Well done.

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

[Bonnie Nyquist]

It will be perfect just like everything else you do! Just so inspired by this project!!! You are very prolific! Such soft fabrics and color combinations, poh yes, this will be an heirloom!!!

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/
