That is beautiful.

Beautiful so far! It appears to me that you open your seams, rather than press them to one side. Is this true? I know with machine piecing, I was taught to iron them to one side.

I usually press my seams to one side too but with these set in diamonds I only stitch to my 1/4"mark and press my seams open and it just seems to sit neater and is easier to sew. I am only winging this, I have never been shown, so I am doing what works for me, I just hope I'm doing it right lol :) :p

Looks like a Star Bouquet. Found the pattern in an old "Quilt" magazine twelve years ago!
