First thank you to all three for the compliments, it will be a lot of work, but hey why not? LOL

Trust me, I am by no means whatsoever a master of quilting. This block is paper pieced, which always makes things look sharper. I cannot for the life of me gets nice points except when I am paper piecing LOL In fact if you look in the lower left of the blue and white block, you will see a good chunk of the top of the diamond cut off LOL I am actually hoping that by doing this quilt, I will get better at precision piecing because I totally stink at it now. It will be a huge challenge, but have been wanting to do a sampler quilt to improve my skills for a while now, so what better than this? :)

Never think you can't do it, as I tell my son, you never know till you try!! plus there is a great support system right on this board that will help you every step of the way!

Cheers!
