Jeanie I agree that there is a lot of fabric in some of the seams. Maybe Mirabelle will have some tips on quilting them so we don't break a needle.

Finally, my eye straightened up a bit and I finished putting together Diamonds all around:[ATTACH=CONFIG]442974[/ATTACH] and all together they look like this:[ATTACH=CONFIG]442975[/ATTACH] My November will be late, in fact I probably will not see the first ones posted until later...making it that more special to see the 'eye' candy at a later date. If you look real close at Diamonds all around, you can see I changed my mind in the center circle and appliqued the 'patch' on top of the original color I had there by stitching very close to the edge on the matching color to the diamonds. That change was more pleasing to my eye.

Hello all!! I've been away for a while ... getting a tan in Jamaica 
The blocks are all lovely!!!
I wasn't crazy about the designs of either Diamonds All Around or Loosey Goosey and since I'm not making all of the blocks I had decided to hold off on these two. Depending on how I like the remainder of the blocks that are coming, I may or may not make these two.
But I wanted to check in lest you forget me and tell you all the blocks are all coming out GREAT!!
