Finally I get to throw my 2-cents into this thread. Karen, when you get that last 9-patch done and turn the two of them as Pat on Her Hill has directed, for Heaven's Sake take a picture of the arrangement and print it for constant reference. It would be just SO easy to assemble that beauty with one sneaky diamond or 9-patch pivoting while you're stitching it. It truly would. Polly

I think it will totally work! (and apparently I am short one block -
hence the hole in the middle)
That looks stunning - I love the light/dark pinwheel effect where the
diamonds join, even if it is accidental !

I always wash quilts acording to the fabric rather than anything else,
so hot water, bio washing powder (or non-bio and OXY, which I prefer)
Fabric conditioner in the final rinse. Oh and washing machine rather
than by hand as it does a more thorough job. If being gentle hasn't
sorted it, bring out the big guns. It certainly can't make it worse.

Run you mouse over the quilt for a close up, looks like the pieces are
