    That is amazing - I can see how easy it would be to mess up - you've done a great job!!

    I admire your patience for all that hand piecing. I love the colorful prints.

    This is beautiful - I love your fabric placement, you've really done justice to the 3D effect. :D I've done a small wall hanging of this and I pieced over papers (figuring that was the only way I'd keep the points in order!)- are you hand piecing the conventional way, ie drawing a sewing line around a template? Your points are perfect! :-D

    I am cutting out my pieces with a rotary cutter then using my Perfect Piecer to make my sewing lines. I have (I hope) all the diamonds I'll need already cut out and sitting in a Ziploc bag. Thanks everyone for all the compliments. I'll continue to post pictures as I progress.

    Beautiful! I have the fabric and a pattern to do one but haven't had the time. Thanks for the inspiration!

    It is gorgeous and very bright. I don't know if I could do the tumbling blocks, I sure like the looks of them. You are doing a great job.

    I am impressed. A great scrappy tumbling block. Bold colors, your poor little fingers will be raw by the time you finish this! I think you won't be bored for a really long time.
