Scraps to Treasures: Finally Revealed

I talked about this quilt much of the summer, but I had to keep the pictures to myself as this was part of a challenge.  Each participant received the same sets of 6" squares.  Each square had to be cut down from the original, and we could add a certain number of 6" squares as well as fat quarters in order to finish a quilt that was at least 36" x 48".
The day I emailed the picture of my finished quilt, I learned the organizer passed away from a heart attack.  Things were in flux for a while, and finally we had voting and the reveal, so I can post this picture here.

This was my first experience piecing diamonds, and I can definitely see how I improved over the eight points.  I can also see where I was in a hurry and didn't attend well enough to my points, but in the end it's a lovely quilt and I'm happy with the results.  It finished about 54" square.

What a pretty quilt! Looks like it was a good challenge. But it's really sad about the organizer.

Wow! Beautifully done! Love the rainbow star points. Glad you were finally able to post this.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
