Four Diamond Stars

It only just now occurred to me that in yesterday’s post I omitted any links to the quilt block challenge I mentioned. You can see an EQ drawing of the finished quilt design at http://www.365challenge.com.au/ (The “au” means the page is from Australia). You can have the quilt patterns sent to your email, or you can follow along at http://www.365challenge.com.au/the-blocks/. If you’d just like to see the challenge blocks that other quilters are making, you can visit https://www.facebook.com/365challengequiltblocks. Two months ago I was at the quilt shop buying fabric for an unrelated project when I ran into a total stranger who has also accepted the 365 block challenge. She was bubbling with enthusiasm. But then, that was before any of the Y-seam or unfinished seam blocks appeared. Today’s photo is from that unrelated project, a sampler quilt called Gossip in the Garden. It’s an overly busy pattern (but I can fix that) from http://www.hatchedandpatched.com.au/. Yep, it’s also from Australia.
