Hi there! I finished up all of my Field of Diamond blocks last Wed, March 17th. I laid them all out and it's going to be really pretty. Thurs, I sewed the first 2 rows, and then sewed row 1 and 2 together. That's as far as I've gone on it. I've been just doing a little bit of everything else but that. I made my first 12" Bargello block on Friday and 12 Mini Star blocks. Sat I made this really pretty block that I've been wanting to try. It's called a Double Aster. And today, I started trying to learn to Paper Piece. I made the square in a square and then made a block called Lucky Star #2. I still need practice, but it was fun trying to learn. Here's a bunch of pictures of what I've been doing for the past week.

Oh No! I am the same way not being able to stay focused on a project. My children say I have ADD. I love the bargello block, I am definitely going to have to try that.. Thanks for sharing and glad to know I am not the only one to jump around on my projects...

Thank you everybody! I really want to make a Bargello now, but not the rippled kind. No, I want the twisted one that I don't have a pattern for and have never made. I'm still deciding on what to do next, so I'm still piddling. Thanks again for your interest and compliments. I'm glad I'm not the only one who "just can't seem to get it together". LOL
