Last batch of diamond fabrics.......

I decided to add the extra row to the width of the diamond quilt which means 11 more diamonds.  I cut 2 new fabrics and used duplicates of some already sewn for all the rest.  I hope to get them all sewn today.   Yesterday I had a visit from one of my blogger friends who travels through this area a few times a year.  We had lunch and talked quilts of course.  We are both in caregiver situations so it was good to be able to talk about that too with someone who really understands.  She also helped me put the last 2 chairs together so my kitchen set is complete.  I'll take a photo soon so you can see the table too.

I can't wait to see the quilt top finished. Have you decided what color binding? It is always nice to have company that you can relate too. How is Dad doing?

I like your new color combinations, and yippee for getting the rest of your chairs put together. It's always good to have a friend visit who understands.
