Nearly There

If you know anything about anything, you do not buy wooden outdoor furniture when you live in Galway.  This sad bench sits outside our house courtesy of the people who lived here before us.  If you try to move it, it threatens to fall into a pile of timber.  There's no possible way it would take the weight of an adult...or a child...or even the cat.  It was able, though, to hold up little Pezzy for a few snaps.

I've finally finished quilting this little quilt.  I am delighted with the result.  This is my first time doing a concentric diamond pattern and I did really enjoy myself.  Now that I know what I am doing, I will work harder to make it a little less wonky.  You could easily use seams as your guide to make a point, pivot and start up the next side.  I did not think that through from my first diamond, so it was hard to fix as I got further and further in.

Can you see the little yellow diamonds on the back?

Now to bind it.  I was thinking of a lime green or a purple solid.  I'll "interview" a few possibilities the next few days and we will see what works.
