It started out rather simply. I had a plan, sketched it out, dug through my stash then bought more fabric. Execute. Right? Well, it went that way until it was time to make said quilt.
It was a cool diamond and hexie quilt with an interwoven lattice. I decided to make the diamonds large, so I could piece the top faster. Unfortunately, I made them too large, and by the time I finished I had 20 diamonds that were 20″ from point to point on the long side, meaning my quilt would have covered the living room floor. No bueno.
So began the task of moving around my pieces and figuring out how in the world I could turn what I’d made into a really fantastic quilt. I was frustrated and thought I’d spent a lot of time and money on a quilt that wasn’t going to happen. And, among other things, I knew I didn’t need more random quilt blocks on my studio floor. After several failed iterations on my design wall, I put the diamonds next to each other.
I paused.
I looked at it.
I liked it.
I waited.
I looked more.
I still liked it.
And so began the evolution of this quilt. 
I’m tackling the borders today because, as one might guess, I changed my mind on them and this quilt will go into another evolution.
Looking good! I love the way the yellow stars ‘pop’ amongst the gorgeous mix of greens and purples and blues, and look forward to seeing it all completed 🙂
Patty, do you plan to write a pattern for sale for this quilt? I would love to buy one if you do. Susan
Thanks, Susan! I am working on it right now, actually. I was hoping to have it finished before the holidays but I’m afraid that won’t happen. I will do my absolute best to send you an email when I have it ready, but if I forget, please email me to ask and/or check in on when I’ll have the pattern finished.
