That's why I chose the diamonds and just made as many blocks as I had fabric for, when it's gone it's gone. Actually whitepine those big medallions aren't any faster, lots more area to sew and match believe it or not. Almost took a whole yard of fabric just for the binding. Sewed on a fractured wall hanging for a little bit this morning, then outside for awhile doing yard stuff and got the garage about half cleaned. Need to finish that tomorrow for sure.
