Nice touch!!

I had to make this up quick, so just appliqued the square rather than pieced...but the effect is just the same but a fraction of the time taken...thats what I like!!

Here's a picture of the blocks layed out to make sure the colours are mixed up enough. I just stribbled it down on a piece of A4 squared paper, decided how many bordered blocks in the top, I didn't strip piece the two rails, just cut up lots of 6.5" X 3.5" rectangles and stitched dark/lights together randomly, lay them out on the floor, threw the diamonds on wherever...the picked the rows up to keep in order and Bob's your uncle done in a couple of hours!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great for a beginner to do btw!! :D

It's very pretty. I like the blues/yellows combo.
