A Sampler Quilt - cubes.

Diamonds hemmed and turned into cubes.  They curved up sort of at the edges bit a nice hot iron sorted that.  

Next step, stacking the blocks into a tower.  Have you heard the saying about writing? You know that it is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration?

I have a quilting version.

 10% precision and 90% persuasion to get the corners and points to match.

Patchwork cubes

And am I enjoying this yet? Well not exactly, sewing the diamonds together might have been fun if waiting to see if the edges would match up had not been so nerve wracking.  Of course I should be enthusing over this so as not to put my friend off making a start.
