Today I finished up the quilt top with a technique new to me...and yes it is RW&B Diamonds in Squares! I got Suzanne McNeill's book "10 Minute Blocks" and decided to try them on my patriotic material. Well, they were 10-Minute blocks...and once I got going, even less! I also have the coordinating binding and backing to send off to AmericanHeroQuilts.com with the quilt top later this week. This was a great weekend project!

That's a great quilt! I will definitely be looking for that book. I do American Hero Quilts also and I'm always looking for easy patterns for that. Thanks!
