vintage diamonds: update

I began joining up my *Vintage Diamonds in scrappy brights this week.

Here's a few a lot of progress photos, taken over a few days ...  

- working thru' my scraps & stash but not making much of a dent!

With my last batch of diamond units, I repeated several fabric combos to help towards achieving a scrappy, but balanced, look. I sewed my diamond units into long rows, and then finally, I slowly started joining my long diamond rows together - on the diagonal & carefully matching the seams. 

I had hoped to get it all together today, but it's way way too hot to sew anymore. And that's ok, there's always tomorrow. Or the day after. 

Feeling just a wee bit excited about this (almost finished) quilt top ... more to come.

*Inspiration for this quilt came from Jolene's new book 'scrap quilt diary'

and I'm using the 'vintage diamonds' quilt pattern @theowlhutch
