My MIL made it for a pin cushion and used it as such. I have no problems making the diamonds I just wondering what is the technique for sewing them together. She said she had instructions for it somewhere but she past away from cancer and going thru her things never found them. Glenn[/quote
Yes , I agree , it's a hand piecing job. I am tempted to try & make it like you do "Grandmother's Flower Garden", only using diamonds instead of hexigons. Eva
