Default One of my very first quilts

I never realized it was supposed to be difficult!
Made it for my son and his wife for their wedding. I was complimented on my perfect points... I thought that was the idea... and I'd sewn for years.
My DH cut out templates for me from some wood sheeting that was used for floors - I believe it is mahogany - that he'd been given/scrounged from somewhere. And he drilled hole for the points on the diamonds.
My seams weren't always 1/4" but my points matched pretty well.
I thought it was fun! And I want to make a similar quilt for their 20th anniversary (4 years). DGD spilled pink nail polish on it a few years ago and their cat added her "mark" as well. We appliqued scrappy hearts over everything - one for each year at the time with two larger ones for the kids.
