Still unhappy with my diagonal strip blocks so I put them away for now and started quilting DDs blue and green carpenters wheel quilt. Got the SID for the main portion done and decided to get adventurous and do a bit of embellishment in the background blocks around the star and the wheel. Nothing fancy - not that adventurous yet - but I'm liking the darker blue diamonds on the pale blue background. Will post pic when I get done with the diamonds. Then to figure out what to do on the borders.
