As (almost) any of us had, I of course mean skeletons in the closet - - - well, I speak of UFOs! But so are UFOs and UFOs ... those that were lying around really long periods, a miserable existence, and at some point (almost) forgotten (but unfortunately only almost). And then the other, which are not really UFOs, who see even in daylight, hoping for completion may - only then, after you had made a few small block has yet again to go into the crate. Most of those who work so names such as Nearly Insane , Baby Jane , Quilted Diamonds and the like. Even one of my bodies is a Quilted Diamond , euphoria after the books by Linda Franz 
as I was, of course I started off on every block, I have sewn out book. So I at least knew when I started: The first block was created on 12-10-2007 on holiday on Sylt! And then a few blocks followed in quick succession ... created until the first gap. Since then it spills out in front of you ... The last hand-sewn Block (No. 51) was established on 08/09/2010. 
A few weeks later, I once again dug out my finished Diamonds. I think the quilt is still wonderful, but now I see a lot more realistic: 
then hand sewing: I of course had the ambition of the entire quilt by hand sewing - as it should be.! At the first light, the blocks were still quite good, but I soon came to my limits - both in terms of quality as well as concerned the air. That the method of sewing the Diamonds require exceptionally extensive preparatory work done to the rest. So I have now decided to send the machine to sew on. That's not all blocks, but I have plenty to choose from. 
The new design has motivated me again to work on the Diamonds continue - at least I have already two Small block machine-sewn and two other templates are ready. Furthermore, the reduction of the size advantage: It is at once already viiiieeeelllll further ;-))))
