I already wrote about Saturday's challenging artsy project (click here to read it) and today I am writing about Friday's class which had a quick and relaxing project. The "Ladies of the Evening" is a biannual class at Reichards and is a wonderful night out with quilting friends. We enjoyed a potluck supper, lots of socializing, and sewing until we drop (which for me was much earlier than usual since I had to get up early to travel to the class on Saturday).Here is the fabric kit for this mystery project...all lovely Christmas fabrics.
Cutting and sewing the 64 half rectangle blocks was quick...it was the trimming up that took the most time. And of course I saved the little dog ears for my collection.
And here are the blocks as they look on my design wall this morning...
Christmas Diamonds!

What a great Christmas quilt~a quick and easy project is fun.
I like your Christmas quilt. We are so lucky as quiltmakers. We never run out of sources for our craft. I love geometric quilts!
The Christmas diamonds are too cute!!
I like your Christmas diamonds, what a wonderful way that would be to use up some of my misc Christmas fabrics.
How many people will be so lucky as to get a Chrsitmas Quilt from you this year? I like the diamonds too, what size are the finished blocks? AND I have to ask WHY are you saving Dog ears?? I thought my selvage saving passion was bad.
OOO, I like this a lot! I might have to borrow your idea with my holiday fabric....not right now though LOL too many other projects!
What a pretty Christmas quilt.
Love the diamonds! I have yet to make a Christmas quilt. I'm with you on the trimming--but it sure makes things go together more easily.
I love scrappy so this is definitely one I like!
I love it! Christmas diamonds is right!
Really like the Christmas diamonds. Those blocks are going to make a gorgeous quilt.
Nice Christmas diamonds! Love them - easy but so effectfull! I should dig into my x-mas fabrics...
I do like this pattern. It looks like just the kind of block I like to make. What were the size of the triangles you cut to put those together?
Thanks for sharing
That project looks like it was lots of fun.
I love your blocks, they look so festive. But, did I miss something? You collect dogears?
What pretty colors. I hope you get this one done in time for Christmas -- this Christmas that is.
Just found your blog, and I love it! I have a question, though, being a newbie: What is this "design wall"? What is it made of? I want to put one up in my sewing/office/spare bed room where space is limited.
