I pieced 2 more light sets and cut 3 groups of 2 into triangles. At this point I have decided to make extra groups in even more colors, like a brown group for sure. I can see I don't have enough variety pieced and cut yet to vary the colors in the diamonds. Pictured below are the rest of the groups ready to sew to make all 32 of the rectangles. I sew a dark group and a light group at the same time. That way I can't get mixed up which group I need to add the next piece to but can string piece to save time and thread.
Today is going to be a busy day with some things being moved out of my garage that I have been storing, lunch with a friend, and computer club tonight.
Nice looking quilt. So you sew the strips into rectangles than cut across than put tpgether to form the design? What size is the rectangle? I love the way it looks. Mary Ann

I really like the look of the diamond quilt - it gives me ideas for using up more of my small pieces, cutting them up into strips sewing them and then cut them up again. What a great idea for this quilt. Do you press your seams open or close on something like this? Karen http://karensquilting.com/blog/
I can see the quilt is going to be so beautiful. What a great way to use of some of those extra pieces of fabric or fat quarters. I am anxious to see it completed.
