Starting to assemble the border blocks for “Lucy Diamond”. The grey I chose is Kona Solids’ “Overcast” — rather fitting for the June gloom we’ve been having here lately, though it wasn’t really my intention to link the two!
These seem to go a bit slower than the full-diamond block, partly I guess because the odd number of pieces in every other row means that I sometimes have to leave a piece behind on the table (as it were), instead of chain-sewing pairs all of the time. But since I don’t have to choose fabrics, I can cut the fabrics in strips, and it actually does take less time to sew up the half-diamond block, as logic would imply, I finished three more today. (I got better with matching the points!)
