 For my project this time I had two ideas swirling around in my head. So my plan was to make some of the blocks and then decide which way I go. 
 With a test block made, something wasn't right. Oh boy! I made a cutting error, cut 2" instead of 2 1/2" a good thing I didn't cut them all out. Once I cut another set I was all good. 

So in my head I had rows of multi coloured diamonds sashed together into a quilt. The other idea was to make a Lone Star table topper.  It has been a long time since I made a Lone Star project. As you can see the Lone Star won out this time. 



I then was wondering if I should make 4 blocks and sew them together for a quilt or just leave it at 1 block for a table topper.  In the end it was a table topper that won out.
Now I just had to quilt and binding it, but I hestiated. Does it need a  border or two? I left it sitting on my table for  a few days to think on it.

Now because I couldn't decide, it means I didn't get to quilt and bind it but I do love it even more once I added the borders.
A little close up for you.

I hope you are enjoying all the projects featured in this blog hop.
Until Next Time
Keep Stitching
