| Block 41 - Diamond Ring |
Today’s
block marks a first for me in two respects. Firstly (excuse the pun) I created a block
from Kumiko Fujita’s “318 Patchwork Patterns” book. This book is full of delightful little
designs that you can copy and enlarge.
Most are then hand-stitched or patchworked. However, I wanted to keep Kumiko’s block no. 89
at the original size (under 2½”) so I decided to paper-piece it.

And
this brings me onto my second ‘first’ – I converted the patchwork pattern into
a paper-pieced pattern. Thankfully, it
was quite a simple pattern to convert due to the limited number of pieces
involved. And the piecing went together
really easily too.
I
love a bit of glitz and glamour ..... and the odd diamond or two!
