Grandma 58, I used to piece these stars for a living, for another woman who quilted them and sold them, most often to members of the Lakota Sioux Tribe in northern South Dakota. After a while I got fast enough that I could piece one per day including the side filler blocks. Others could do two per day and that impressed me. Looking at your quilts I noticed that you are making these with individual diamond shapes and not the by the strip method. I am really astonished by that. I didn't think anyone made them that way anymore and I certainly didn't. Your quilts are stunning and so beautifully well made. My hat is off to you!

PS...I love the colors in the quilt above your favorite one!
