I've been stuck with the same inspiration this week as well! I'm sewing the scraps on to diamond shaped muslin pieces. I have two medium sized containers jammed with scraps that was really frustrating me, so when I stumbled across this pattern something clicked. I have been sewing every chance I get, setting a goal to make at least 10 diamonds a day. There are something like 529 diamonds in the quilt, but I fear there may be enough for 2 quilts.
Like you, I have other projects waiting, but this one I just can't put down.
Keep going on your quilt, and let's see it when you are done!
