Thanks everyone! I will go shopping when I get off work later. (I'm on my phone)
I don't think I'll have a problem making this for her. The diamonds are paper pieced. I have a little experience with those. They don't look too hard.
Anyway she has become my long arm quilter. I know she won't accept payment so I need to find some way around her. I hope this is it. We live across the country from each other. But she is one of those friends that even though we hardly ever see each other when we do get together it's like we've never been apart. It will be a pleasure to make something special for her.
