OK - Ladies. I put my Twirling triangles away for now. It's too big a job for me to quilt on my machine and I don't have the time to hand quilt it right now. Soooo.... It becomes a UFO.
Anyway - I started pulling fabrics and block patterns for my row. Looking for the patterns I want to use - I found quite a few with "Diamond" in the name. When I was thinking about my topic - Jewels, I was leaning towards jewel tones - but I think my row is going to be Diamond Blocks made in jewel tones. I found a cool pattern on quilterscache.com that is called the "Diamond Star" and another called "Interwoven Diamonds".
Finally there is one called "Fabric Boxes" that I am going to try out. That one is paper piecing which I have not done before. I figured I might as well do one experimental block while doing this exercise - and it might as well me on my row. I can always not use it if it doesn't turn out. :)
So - over and out for now. I need to narrow down my fabric choices and post a photo for you to see.

The spiderweb blocks were reminding me of strings of beads, so I'm going to applique a string of beads connecting them. I hope it works out in reality the way it does in my head!
I have plans for everyone's rows... I just need to see them in person to confirm what I want to do. Exciting!
