Are you a speed piecer?
I’m not. I piece blocks in sets, throw them up on the design wall and admire them for a while. See those bright reds? They were scattered across the top but kept distracting me so I put them to work creating a secondary diamond.
40 blocks done, I need to make a decision about borders soon. I usually don’t border my string quilts but I think I want this larger without having to make it 2 rows wider.
On to binding for a bit.
I am liking this quilt a lot , oh go for making a few more blocks it will be worth it in the end!
you probably have more strips and then you don't have to yardage on the borders
looks like you have had a productive night

extra points for secondary designs. good eye
I tend to throw it together and am not much of a 'wall' person. However you are showing that it pays to take a minute and 'look'.

Mary, I love what you are doing with the red diamonds – great idea!
