You're probably looking at this and thinking I am crazy, that I didn't do anything. BUT I DID! I moved some of the stuff from the lower left to the lower right, and I moved stuff from the lower right to the upper right.
I felt all those areas were too dark and I wanted to make more color variation at the bottom and upper right. It may not be a hit-you-over-the-head difference, but it's there. I think some of the diagonal rows created by the diamonds are more visible and you can see them overlapping (sorta) and going around each other.
I may have to go shopping. This is getting to be too good to just "settle."
Jano Mom, see this post about what I use to cut the diamonds.

YES! this is much better; and yes, i noticed a difference right away. the overlapping diamonds really stand out much better- and you took out some of the "questionable" fabrics.
ReplyDeletethanks for letting us follow along- and being a push to not "settle" in our own quilts!
Oh I do hope you are just playing with the edges now...because I love how the center echos out....
ReplyDeleteLynne, this is just amazing. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Just sew it up, send it my way!
ReplyDeleteI thought those areas were too dark too and now it is much better.
ReplyDeleteOh dear oh dear,
ReplyDeleteI think I need to know the size of your diamonds. I am thinking 8.5" strips. I am thinking I will use strips not fussy cutting like you. I expect I will be sorry for not being picky enough. LOL
I looked up the Hex'n More ruler. Yes, 8.5" >^..^<
