Hi everybody! To save all of you that are interested in the pattern for the Field of Diamonds quilt from having to figure out the sizes like I did, I'm posting my pattern for it. These are for 9" blocks. I didn't recopy mine that I had to change so it's not as neat as it should be. Sorry! :oops:

Hope this will help everybody who wants it.
Thanks alot for all of the interest in my quilts!!!

Thank you for sharing these with us :D:D:D

Thank you for sharing this pattern. I had actually bookmarked it so I could figure it out later. :-D

Thank you and if I get time later, I'll write up the pattern better and post it.

Thanks so much for sharing these!

Thank you everybody. I need to make the Cutting instructions clearer and the whole pattern actually. I write these patterns out and I know what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure that everyone else can understand them. Plus, I haven't been quilting long enough to get things done the right way yet. I just noticed last night, while using my own pattern, that I messed up.

On the SIAS block, on the Green Corners I put cut in 1/2.
So, dummy me did just that. Mistake! I should of sewn the green and white squares together FIRST, then cut them in 1/2
so I didn't have to cut on the bias! I didn't cut my white squares in 1/2 but now I have to! Please don't make this mistake. It's alot easier to do it the other way.

Also on the 8 Point Star pattern, under "Blues", it said
3 1/4", marked out and 3"? wrote. I cut all mine 3 1/4". I was trimming off alot when I squared them up so I was going to try cutting one 3" next time and see if that would be big enough. I haven't done that yet though! Do not cut yours at 3" until you try one to see if that is big enough!!!

I am rewriting the pattern now and it should make it clearer. If you are making one of these blocks, I'd wait until I re-post it. It shouldn't be very long, I'm already started on it.

Hope this makes things a little clearer than mud.

Alright! Here is the revised pattern. Again, I sincerely apologize for posting the original one. It won't happen again. Thanks for your patience.
Marilyn

Alright! I got it done. Here is the new pattern for the 8 Point Star. Again, sorry about the last one.
Marilyn

Very clear! Thank you!

OOooo! I'm gonna have to try this one!!

Hope you don't mind if I add my 2 cents here Marilyn.

You can do both of these with HSTs. That is how I make them. Just use the right size template for the size quilt block you want to make.

I use my HST method to cut them out then sew them into a 4 x 4 grid.

For a 12 1/2" quilt block of each use a 3 1/2" template to cut out your HSTs. Then just lay them out and sew them into rows and rows into the quilt block
If you want to make a differant size quilt block just change the size of template you use. Less math to confuse you.

Thanks for all the info...Saves the rest of us a lot of time

I've revisited this page again and again. Love your instructions!

Very nice...my next quilt?

Now this is more like you. Thanks
