Good Morning Quilters!
Happy February to you. My Cousin’s Walk borders are getting finished. I am nearing the end, and try to appliqué one flower each day. Here’s todays picture: on left, the last two borders as they are now, and on the right, a picture of the same two borders from two weeks ago. I am getting excited that the end is getting near!
The diamonds quilt on the design wall is coming along too. I added the edge parts, and have about ten long strips of blocks sewn together, and also have a little bit in the top left that have the strips sewn together. It involves thinking as I sew because the triangles all have bias edges, and when sewing them together, I have to offset the edges a little to line the seams up correctly. It’s a job where I keep Mr. Seamripper handy when I first begin a session, but after I get sewing for a while, I use him less. Here’s the design wall, in three pictures:
(1) The top left corner is all sewn together (except for the one little corner bit)
(2) The next set of blocks are now sewn into six long diagonal strips:
(3) And the rest is a mix of some blocks sewn to their neighbors, and some blocks that are not sewn to anything.
It is turning out to be fitting together like a giant puzzle, and I am liking it. What are you playing with on your design wall this week? It doesn’t have to be on a design wall, but we like to see what progress you are making.

Your Cousin's Walk borders are so beautiful--lovely work on these...
And your diamond piece is really coming together so well...great projects...
hugs, Julierose
You are making slow and steady progress on both projects! Those diamond blocks are fiddley, but the finished quilt will be well worth it.
