You will never guess what happened?
As a result of all the inspiration, I remembered that I had been given a bag of triangle scraps at the last guild meeting, and you know what 2 triangles make? A diamond shape! The triangles were hand traced from old scraps and I could see the drawn lines on many of the pieces.
In addition to the triangles, there were actually some round brilliant cut diamond shapes in the bag. See them on the bottom left of the photo?
That was odd. There was no way to fit those pieces together with the triangles but some of them were cut from the same fabrics so I don't know what the project creator had in mind for these pieces.
So fun!
Thanks for Carol for organizing the blog hop and thank you to all the participants for sharing their creativity and inspiration with us!

The pieces in the bottom left of your picture are called kite and there are lots of quilt designs that use them.
What a surprise to visit your blog and find you making a new project (NOT). LOL You are incorrigible, Kathy, but what fun you have. The diamond top sparkles (couldn't resist that one). :)
Wow, thanks so much! This has been such an inspirational blog hop
what a great wall hanging. I love the diamond, but oh boy all those bias edges. You've matered them.
Always a great day when the scrap pile gets smaller!
cute wall hanging and those diamonds are quite nice...going to have to try these.
What a great way to use up all those left over triangles! As usually you are motoring along on your projects.
Neat wall hanging with the diamonds!!!
In my mind, this is the very best kind of quilt. Feel the inspiration hit you upside the head, grab the scraps and sew sew sew! What a fun, scrappy diamond piece you ended up with :)
I love that word... I AM incorrigible!! Thanks Janet :)
Kathy: You were so lucky to have received the bag with cutouts, what a sweet looking quilt, I am looking forward to seeing it quilted.
