i haven't made the one i'm most proud of yet. My grandmother on my mother's side died when my mom was 7 yrs old.(1944). My aunt gave me a bunch of diamond shapes that my grandmother cut out and she actually started a Tumbling Blocks quilt. (There was a small group of pieces sewn together.)

My problem w/ the Tumbling Blocks is that it doesn't show off all the diamond pieces that my grandmother cut out, and i found this as an inspiration picture..Carpenter's Wheel. I'm going to make it for my mom.

I'm going to have to look at the pieces, but i'm hoping to do the sashing in blues & whites. Blue is my mom's favorite color. I'll use the Tumbling Blocks that is already started as part of a block on the front or the label on the back.

I get goose bumps thinking of it!!! It's my next project after i finish my aunt's quilt
