It took me 45 minutes to make a 10 minute block!

Once you have it figured out, they will be ten minutes or less!
I like the colours, and yes they go well together. Maybe your disappointment is in the placement? Move the white background print to the centre diamond and I think you'll get the contrast you are wanting!
Love the pattern ... and how you can vary the sizes of the inner diamond, smaller/larger to your desire. Also, if you want more ... you can add a diamond again, as you join your blocks together! Neat, eh?

OH CJ I am sorry you had so much touble with this block. I loved it and got a twin size quilt completely done in about 4 hours. The last seam is the one you have to be really careful with. Make sure you pull the center part out and pin it really well. They didn't mention that on the video on youtube. That is where I found the pattern. Keep trying because once you master it then you will love this pattern. If you make the center block the same as one of the others then the pattern will look totally different..I can't remember the name of the block pattern pattern it makes , but it's really pretty that way...don't give up!! Keep trying it..crafty_linda_b

I like your fabric combonations! It will make a great quilt. I had some trouble with this block too & I have to admit it is nice to hear I am not alone! I found that when I did my last seam that if I did it in 2 parts it came out better. I pinned then sewed from the edge through the middle, then pinned the other half & sewed from the middle to the other edge. Seemed like no matter how much I pinned the thing I couldn't get it to come out right until I started sewing it in 2 parts.
