Here’s a close up of my diamond-pieced forest floor.   Each diamond measures 11″ lengthwise and 7″ from top to bottom.  I was amazed at how quickly it sewed together; it took me about 2 days to stitch the entire quilt top.


I spent a lot of time on the river today.  Nothing is sewn down yet, but I made a lot of important decisions and have everything in place to start to fuse and stitch.  I like to think about it for a while and walk into the room a few times and see it with fresh eyes before making the final commitment.  Oh, I got the footboard out of storage a couple of weeks ago.  It’s so beautiful and nice to have around.
