Library Project February linkup

I have been working hard on my Diamond Ring Stack N Wack quilt.  I have all of my prints for the diamonds cut and assembled.  This is a large quilt, 93" square and it is assembled in sections of nine blocks each.  There are nine sections, it is tricky as you assemble because the alternate blocks between the diamonds have to be assembled using the correct print to match to the diamond you are next to.  Then there are border blocks that also contains matching prints to the diamonds.
If you want to make a quilt that is a bit of a challenge....this qualifies.   Oh, did I mention it also has lots of bias edges to work with also.


I have assembled three sections so far.

  2. It's coming along nicely. Have you saved any of the fabric uncut? It's always fun to be able to go back and see how much stacking and whacking transforms the fabric.
